It's week #169 for the Carnival of the Vanities, hosted this week by Multiple Mentality, and given a comfortable blanket of Whedon fleece. Posted at 10:55 AM to BlogorrheaI beg to differ. 169 is a bit more than a "moderately-scary highway". It isn't referred to as the Mingo Valley Deathway for nothing.
