Bonsai Clock, Loveline

A Bonsai Gear clock? You bet. Get it here from Japan. I was first inspired by the Bonsai plant during a impromptu trip to a bonsai garden on a tiny island on the River Danube in Budapest, Hungary. After lying out on the grass with my FM radio, bottled water and most likely bread and/or Haribo-esque candy I stumbled across a old building with the sweet lure of Bonsai. Big, small, wide and skinny - this gem in downtown Budapest was a prime example of one of those unique, memorable - yet little things you come across when exploring foreign countries.

As my 7th grade math teacher used to say, "Lets shift gears completely here". Kudos to the "Aceman" - i think that is his name.
The Loveline Archive is back up online with episodes to download for free. Anyways, his site has always been a fantastic spot for old loveline episodes in MP3 format, but went down for some time due to understandable bandwidth concerns. These shows have gotten me through very long cross continent flights (I found that 64kbps MP3 format has low impact on my iPods battery life. Does that make any sense?) as well as my drives from Bristol to West Hartford at 11:15 PM after my 2nd shift. One may not agree with me, but I find Adam Corolla really funny for some reason.
