It's Eye Roll Day

Snow again last night, just a dusting, but schools were delayed. Why? Who knows.

And I thought the housing market in the Northeast was insane:

Tiny London apartment on sale for $335K.

But this is London and the 77-square-foot former storage room — slightly bigger than a prison cell and without electricity — is going for $335,000.

A coffin-sized shower is en suite, and storage is provided by a shallow closet and 10-inch-deep shelves cut into the wall. Two hot plates and a small sink make up the kitchen. Two dirty windows allow light to filter into the basement room, and the fire escape could conceivably double as a shared patio.

With no electricity or heating, Scott said it would cost an additional $59,000 to make the room habitable.


Makes Manhattan seem down-right cheap.

If you haven't heard new passport rules go into effect:

Americans flying to Mexico, Canada and the Caribbean made sure to bring their passports Monday because of a new rule going into effect Tuesday that requires them to show one to get back into the country.


Starting January of next year we'll need passports to drive or cruise outside of the US.
