Meet Vanilla, a 5-week-old baby Dachshund pup. She's in the middle of some serious REM sleep time. I particularly like the closeup of her little face. It looks like she is dreaming of having a conversation because her little lips are moving. After my Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow, this will be me, and probably you, too!
Thanks to relatively cheap prices, wireless Internet on board, and an increase in service-frequency, more Americans are hopping on the bus, rather than traveling by plane or car. Over the past year, intercity bus travel (think Greyhound) has increased by 9.8 percent, a growth rate higher than anything seen in the past 40 years.
Considering driving a car rules out multitasking, and flying includes long security lines, taking the bus doesn't seem so bad! It also has its green advantages — CO2 emissions dropped by 36,000 tons, and 3.48 million gallons of fuel were conserved in the past year. If you're traveling this Thanksgiving, what form of transportation did you choose?
If there's a chance you'll be put on the spot tomorrow at your Thanksgiving dinner, make sure you're prepared to answer those tough questions your bold relatives just love to ask. I hope this helps!

Girl (and I assume it's a girl), if you don't eat well — or at all — you can't spell. In place of "Food: None," or "Food: Donught, sosages, porck chops, pretizels, Hugga Bugga juice" how about something healthy from the four food groups? Or from my only food group: cheese? It does a body good!
Former first lady Barbara Bush, wife of former President George H. W. Bush, was hospitalized last night in Houston. She went in complaining of chest pain and is there to undergo a series of tests.
According to a spokesperson for the family the results were negative she she is expected to be released later today. She is 83 years old and current first lady Laura Bush says she spoke to them last night and everyone seemed to be doing well. We wish a speedy recovery to Mrs. Bush and hope that she is home with her family in time to enjoy Thanksgiving.
