Not all airports have surcharges. By the time you add in a tip for the shuttle driver and the extra time spent, and the possibility that you'll be traveling further if the hotel is in the wrong direction from where you're going, if there's any savings it might not be worth it, or even cost more.

And for fuck sake, don't call a shuttle to pick you up, or take the last seat.

Not at all certain. I just found them through Atlas Obscura. Not exactly a scientific journal.

Was this in Illinois? There's a town there which had a huge population of albino squirrels, but recently the numbers have been shrinking from interbreeding.

It wasn't particularly popular. There were only 1100 students, so the potential audience was tiny. A fellow DJ put on Debbie Gibson and announced that if anyone asked him to stop he would. And he did a four-hour shift of "I Think We're Alone Now."

The saddest part of that was that the station was also broadcast via speakers in the student union.

I worked for a 10 watt station at a small school in the Midwest. There were places on campus where you could see the transmitter and still not get a signal.

Not uncommon at all, happily. Guide Dogs for the Blind get a lot of their dogs from show breeders. Usually you can't even see what slight imperfection in the dog stopped their potential show career.

I hate puppy breeding in general, but at least some good comes out of it.
