I just lost my phone
and I’m not happy about it. If you see it, let me know!  It was last seen in my pocket at the Clinton-Washington stop before I ran as fast as I could to board the uptown C train.

How to Block Ants from Your House: Vicks Vaporub Edition Our new place had some little ants settling near the back door, so I was very excited to read a suggestion that they will not cross over Vaporub, which can be dabbed into holes and cracks with a cotton swab to create an invisible fence to keep them out.  SO—I tried it (and filmed it), and am not completely convinced.
