Oh snap! We all know what we here at ODZY think about the Honda Element, but Ursa Minor Vehicles has taken our love to a whole new level. Introducing the pop-top Element. It is going to set you back $4300, but it might be well worth it depending on how much time you are going to be spending outdoors. Basically you throw this on and then you crawl up there through the sun roof and you have your top shelf bed. When we get the fleet of VW’s we may have to make room for this younger, hipper sibling.

A biologist working in the Grand Canyon was found dead in his home on Nov. 2nd. Medical experts believe Eric York had contracted Pneumonic Plague from a Mountain Lion carcass he had worked with. The last reported death from Pneumonic Plague in a human was in 1924. Mr. Yorks job put him in close contact with animals and carcasses that could have had the disease. The only way to fight the plague is by starting a regimen of antibiotics quickly.
Symptoms include fever, headache or bloody saliva. People are urged to refrain from being in close contact with wildlife in this region due to the plague.
