Why people don’t hitchhike anymore. | It’s Pumpkin Spice Latte Season. Again. | You worry about hurricanes, we worry about hurricane sharks!
In the 1960s and 1970s, it was an accepted form of cross-country travel until, suddenly, it wasn’t. Have you, would you … hitchhike?
It’s back!! Every Fall, we can count on a few things - the leaves changing colors, the air getting colder, and the return of the pumpkin spice latte. Why is it so popular? And you can get a pumpkin scented WHAT?!
The recent hurricane in Florida brought death, destruction, and another opportunity to revive the famous internet hoax where people photoshop a shark into flooded city streets, railways, and backyards. So it was fake again this time, wasn’t it?
