New transportation technologies for shared mobility keep popping up everywhere! The Quasipermanent IntraNeighborhood Wormhole allows travelers to transverse the space-time continuum through this spiral gateway. If you enter the vortex on this side of the sidewalk at 12:00, chances are you will exit the other at 12:02.

Knock knock. Hello? Nana's here... the restaurant opens in fifteen minutes and we gotta catch the early-bird! We can't be late! There could be a long line, or the all-you-can-eat buffet could run out of food, and in just a few hours the sun will be going down.

That is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the dryer to swear
Oath that this prickly sphere wouldst soften and separate
The shirts and sheets of outrageous laundry,
Or to take umbrage at such suspect claim

Desperately to be avoided. To dry, to sleep,
perchance in peace;
Aye, there's the rub.

Most holidays come with a little cake as part of the celebration. On July 4th, cakes such as this will deliver a barrage of multi-shot aerial displays all over the country -- a colorful variety of spinners and serpents, Chrysanthemums and comets, fish and fireflies. This delicious 24-tube mortar just needs a light.

A little after dinner palette cleanser is order. How about a cool, refreshing raspberry sorbet garnished on top with a ginger-cinnamon squirrel?
