Did you get stuck in the traffic stupidity on the I-395 HOV lanes yesterday? I was a mere ten cars back from the accident, and parked my car for one hour while two fire engines, two State Police, one ambulance, and two highway trucks forced their way down the left lane to get to the accident. And the cause? The usual. People go screaming up to the fly-over exit at Edsall Road heading south, a

You guys are a real hoot. So let me ask you this. What would you have said if Hillary won the Presidency, they investigated her email allegations, a special prosecutor spent two years investigating the charges and issued a report of the findings, her appointed AG said "no crime committed", then Schumer blocked any attempts to release the report? Trump's okay with releasing the report. Release

I always tip on the full bill including drinks and tax, and I always tip over 15%, unless the service sucks, in which case they will get 12%. If the waiter is really incompetent, they'll get 10% for effort.

Uhhh....I didn't post any comment that this was the sole reason we have a traffic problem. Where did you see that?

Hey guys, can post a complaint here? EVERY DAY, as I travel south on I-395 heading home from the District, I hit regular traffic jams. EVERY DAY I see Fairfax County, Arlington County and Virginia State Police sitting on the site of the road, waiting. And if you commute home on those routes, you know exactly what I'm talking about. The police sit by the side of the highway before the Shirling

I had many a "Yard of Beer" at Frizbees back in the day. There was a trick to drinking it. Don't tip too quickly unless you want a shirt-front full of Bud. That Annandale location was a great hang-out.....

Sam Kennison, I miss you. "Snow? SNOW? ON MONDAY? NO. NOOOOOOOOOOO...!" So I'm taking a quick survey. How many think they'll close school on Monday to protect our poor, innocent FFx County schoolchildren from the DANGEROUS WEATHER.

> AAP centers: Savings--more than 10 > million--probably closer to 15 Divided among FFx County teachers, this would provide about $715 before taxes more per year in salary per teacher. That amount is in the noise. My point is, if you want to pursue any waste and abuse, go for it. I don't agree with your angle to tie it to teacher's salaries. That's a completely different subject.
