Especially good links this week of all sorts of shapes and sizes. I still am slightly unsure how it occurred, but I got caught up with bad parking vendettas - yeah, I know, weird…
I want to thank those who have begun to post links in the comments (I am looking at you Kellie). The weekly links of the week feature is starting to get pretty impressive.
Enjoy the links.
