Yeah yeah yeah it's a shitty cheap beer but with football season starting back up I need to restock my fridge. Since I just installed a new 70 inch TV with surround sound and vibrating seats I can't afford as much of the good stuff. We'll start out with two or three nice beers like a Bud or something and then switch over to the Genesee. And please don't recommend me some shitty PBR instead. I kno

http://www.wjla.com/articles/2014/07/court-documents-report-mistreatment-at-spa-world-in-virginia-104749.html This should come as a suprise to absolutely no one who has been to this place. Maybe Spa World will get closed down for a while and we can expect a few parking spots to finally become available. Who here knew we had the country's largest Asian-style spa resort right here in Fairfax?

I belive VA DGIF requires that you inform them within a relatively short period of time if you abandon your boat. There's a fine for failure to notify them within that time period

Damn it, you are right. That turnpike widening project is taking forever. Probably becuase the road is not being closed in order to do it.

New Jersey is rebuilding the entire Pulaski skyway in 2 years bu shutting the whole thing down. Maybe Virginia could consider doing this: http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2014/04/pulaski_skyway_closure_no_access_to_nyc_for_2_years.html

I belive they offer the certification at the public libraries. Just go in, use any computer, open up MS Publisher, start making a business card, and type forklift certification on it. Put down Brian Schoeneman as the person who certified you, he loves certifiying things.

Remove the hoop and replace it with with a covered boat on a trailer or van with ladders stacked high on top. Absent any neighborhood parking restrictions, these vehicles can be parked there permanently, will occupy more space than the basketball hoop, and will anger the neighbor considerably since there is nothing she can do to get the cars moved. If you didn't give a shit about the van, you co

Why not index the cost of parking to the percentage of students on Free/Reduced price lunch? Make the max cost $400 instead of 200. Students from Langley will pay 400 and students from Mt Vernon will pay 50. Appropriate discounts for the students on free/reduced price lunch.

It seems like all of Western Fairfax, Prince William, and Loudoun counties have come out against the Bi-County Parkway. VDOT and other state agencies are for it, and VDOT seems to have money for its construction.
