BSNYC Friday Fun Quiz!

The Memorial Day weekend is upon us!  This means it's time to break out the white shoes, linen, and seersucker.  It also means I won't be posting on Monday, May 30th, but I'll be back on Tuesday with regular updates.

Let's hear it for America, Land of the Fee, Home of the Traffic!


And now, because you're cutting out of work early to go for a ride (or at least I am, if you're not that sucks for you) I'm pleased to present you with a quiz.  As always, study the item, think, and click on your answer.  If you're right you'll feel really good about yourself, and if you're wrong you'll despair and also see an "oopsie."

Thanks very much for reading, ride safe, and remember to celebrate Memorial Day the American way--by idling in bumper-to-bumper beach traffic and burning cheap gas for hours!

See you Tuesday,
