A Male Plug Hanging Out of the Hood

When I was the first time in Alaska for my job interview at the university, the wife of the search committee chair had picked me up at the hotel. I saw a male plug hanging out of the hood of her car.

The Significance of Miami

Miami is a lively city with a lot to express, not just a great place for retirees and vacation. Therefore, the Miami art scene is trying to find new ways to stand out artistically on a global scale.
