KASSELL, Germany, Aug. 29 (UPI) -- The manager of a "heuhotel" in Germany says guests get up close and personal with nature by sleeping on a bed of hay at the tourist site.
The manager of the Hofgut hay hotel in Kassell, Germany, says sleeping in a bed of hay can be enjoyable if guests are able to embrace their childish side and find comfort in a natural sleeping setting, CNN reported Saturday.

Whenever they go back in time in Germany, I worry.

NEW YORK, Aug. 28 (UPI) -- A disabled veteran in New York says a hot dog vendor who lost his spot in front of a museum hired him as a way to keep his place, under a 19th-century law.  The city revoked Pasang Sherpa's permission to sell hot dogs in front of the Metropolitan Museum of Art after he defaulted on a $642,000 city contract, but the vendor returned to the spot using an old law allowing disabled veterans to sell merchandise on the streets without a contract, a veteran told the New York Post.

Creative solution, and a disabled vet gets a job.  Good for Pasang Sherpa, thumbs down on the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
