cat spit on linoleum.



or spit with an "h'.



New Orleans, the only city I know that mandates U-turns has a wide central

grassy area between each direction of traffic. They call this area

"the neutral ground," and it's wide enough to allow a safe u-turn.



I had heard that the term commons originated because Boston originally

had areas platted in groups of nine lots, with individual ownership

around the perimeter and a "commons" in the center owned in common.
