45 minutes for a 4 mile round trip. Laurel off Burke station was a flipping disaster, wrecks, inexperienced teem drivers spinning their wheel, panicking and stopping in middle of road. No cops, no vdot, no fcps clearing grounds. In my 16 painful years here, say like today - very cold, small amount of snow, schools in session - are always the worst. Amount of snow was laughable; inability for

Great location and they know it: Gas is expensive. Pumps frequently slow or don't work. Sometimes only regular unleaded. Crappy and expensive market. Yesterday, inspection lane was open, but no inspector on duty - he was held up in taffic - but was told another on way. At 8:30, was told he was late too and wouldn't be getting in anytime soon. Not going back, and this time I mean it. Got ca

Walmart is a distinctly unpleasant shopping experience and its not universally less expensive. While not fine dining, meals at both Olive Garden and Red Lobster are usually pleasant affairs at decent costs. In this regard they are more like Target.

Sparky pretty much got it right. NPPs are among the hardest non-governmental targets in the country, but they are not invulnerable (no target ever is). Of particular concern are Fukushima type BWRs where the spent fuel pool is above grade. NRC licensed guards are permitted to use lethal force to save lives but not to protect property.

Unusually decent comments for the Underground. I am sure it will degenerate soon. The guy loves WTW. My hope is that he is leaving under his own terms. To the extent that WTW is a high pressure, competitive, and demanding environment, it merely reflects the community it serves. For those who were quick to blame the school and Mr. Yost for the suicides, I hope they looked long and hard in t

I attended the Chantilly show earlier this year. Seems to visit the expo center several times a year.

"Narrow-minded parents that try to get every advantage for their own children" is an appropriate label for Petey and his parent crew. BTW, he did more to sabotage his own career by his own idiotic, vainglorious self-identification and ignorant, jackass comments than any posters on this topic could ever hope to do.

Heard them at the border of FFX city and County, right near main street. Ive seen a good size domestic cat back down a fox, but a coyote is twice as big and anything under 25 lbs is fair game. They can tolerate pretty close human interaction if you are not shooting them or poisoning them. Otherwise shy.

Moving on nicely, its you guys who are hunting for a league and probably a coach. I wonder if TC will take any action against Peter or against the players. The may suddenly become ineligible. Too bad, because if they were on the JV squad as 8th graders, they'd probably make varsity as frosh.
Forum: Fairfax County General

Do your research: HS players, whether freshmen, JV, or varsity are prohibited from playing FCYLB. If you live in FFX, 8th graders are not allowed to play on HS teams. In alexandria they are, but if they do, they are still prohibited from County League - pretty simple. The reasons are obvious, especially for JV players which, according to Coach Peter, the three offenders are. For kids that pla

Coach Peter may have made a dumb mistake. He and his team have been duly punished. McLean is in first. Alexandria erased from the books and eliminated from play. However, his thin skin, his willingness to participate in this kind of forum, his bad mouthing,and his threats strongly suggest that he is ill-prepared to coach at any level, whether it be FCYBL, AAU, and most importantly, at a publi
