Ever wonder where Poseidon kicks it after a long day?  Considering he can’t leave the water and that he’s make-believe, I’d say nowhere near the Red Sea Star Underwater Restaurant.  

The Red Sea Star is the first underwater Restaurant and Bar.  It’s located in the busy tourist destination of Eilat, which is Israel’s southernmost city. The underwater eatery is only 5m (16 ft.) below the surface of the Red Sea (on the Gulf of Eilat), so there’s no need for a decompression chamber, and there’s plenty of natural light to “sea” the beautiful corals and marine life.  The ocean inspired decor offers an enchanting environment that is dually suitable for romance or children.  With sea cucumber columns and jellyfish chairs it’s difficult to abate a tacky atmosphere, but with sandy floors covered with clear epoxy and a variety of exotic dishes the Red Sea Star pulled it off.

Support more than your bike with this cause conscious rack by award winning designer Fabio Pedrini. Five Bone$ will be donated to breast cancer research with every sale of the 801p pink Saris bones 3 bike carrier.

I like women that like pink; it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t match the color of your car, it’s pink! Guys on the other hand might want to find another way to contribute to breast cancer research. Pink anything on a dudes car just doesn’t work, you might as well have a sparkly pink sticker across the back of a VW Cabriolet that reads fairy god princess.

I’m pretty confident that I can identify my own luggage at the baggage claim carousel; it’s all the other idiots I’m worried about. The last thing I need is some 70 year old woman riffling though my knickknacks for 2 days before she figures out she took the wrong suitcase home.
It doesn’t help that everyone seemed to have purchased the same black roller suitcase; which I bought first God Damn It!  Oh well, I don’t have to worry now that I have the Q-Man Luggage Tag by NuOp Design.  Everyone makes mistakes, they just won’t be making them on my bags.
