I want to get beware-of-dog signs for my front and back gates. Only not ugly and utilitarian like this:
I want them to look nice—even cute—and to say,
Our dog is not friendly.
Trespass accordingly.
This is deceitful, yes, but strictly speaking, it’s 100% accurate. Our dog isn’t friendly because he doesn’t exist.

An interview with preeminent online wine connoisseur, Gary Vaynerchuck:
The Main Thing to take away from this interview…
When you go into a wine shop, try a wine from a varietal you’ve never had before. Don’t buy another Pinot Grigio, Zin, Pinot Noir, or Chardonnay.
You’ll be a wine expert if you go 2 years and never order the same kind of wine.
7 other questions he answers…
- What’s some good wine in the $10 range?
- What’s the most important thing to consider when buying wine?
- What should you ask a sommelier to impress your date?
- Where are the best places to learn about wine?
- Are bottles over $25 worth it?
- Are wine clubs a good way to learn about wine?
- What’s the best way to find good wine values?
