Has anyone been there? That place is huge. If you search on Youtube, some videos come up and they're all rock concerts. ??? And they don't follow any denomination. I'm curious as to what it's like, I've never been to a church like that. I hear they're really big in the area, that a bunch of Congressmen and people go there.

I'd like to add that I'd only support this for major speeding, any deliberate infractions where it's dangerous. Not a busted taillight. When the point is deterrence, and not revenue collection, or compensation of some kind.

I think it may have some advantages, but it's tricky. For one, some people don't have any taxable income. You could end up with some screwy cases. People will say it's communist or whatever, but you could look at it this way: do a crime, and lose a certain amount of time in jail. Get a ticket, and you lose your earnings for a certain period of time. Not that it would be implemented in that way e

Is this for real? I've been getting email surveys that are supposedly from Representative Jim Moran. I don't know if I emailed him at some point or what. Each survey asks my opinion on one issue, with multiple-choice answers. These ask things like what we should do in Iraq. Isn't that his job? They don't ask my general opinion on things, they ask me what to do. It's absurd, we're not a direct dem

Where can I find an explanation of what this new law is in the first place? Some things depend upon context. Going 20-25 over the limit isn't real dangerous if it's on the open highway, in a decent car. My car doesn't really drive well over 80 though, it's noisy and floaty. Some good cars though, 75 is very stable and feels almost too slow.

When I was shopping for health insurance I heard some things were affected by where you live. I believe I was told that if you live east of route 123, you can't get dental insurance. I don't know if that was with one company or all of them. Why in the world would that be the case? The only thing I can think of is if that area gets its water from a different source, which has less flouride. Or, th

I have a different issue. On Sunset Hills Road, at Isaac Newton Square I think. It's where the Kaiser Permanente is. If you're heading west on Sunset, turning left to head south into Kaiser Permanente or the other things, there should be a left turn arrow. When there's traffic and you only have the round green arrow, you never get to turn. It's actually faster to turn right, turn around in the pa

It's only once a year, but I've gotten great NC-style pulled pork sandwiches from the Herndon Optimist Club tent at the Herndon Festival.

My Yahoo mail doesn't work, I get an "error 999". It's telling me it could be spyware or adware, or it could have to do with unusual network activity coming from my ISP. I use a Mac so I wouldn't expect a virus. For those of you who are Comcast customers, are you having any trouble with Yahoo mail or anything else right now?

It's a Toyota Corolla. Actually I was happy that Craven wasn't trying to sell me their more expensive services, but I'm concerned that I'm not having enough done. I haven't needed any real repairs but I think the dealers are most expensive, more expensive than Craven or other independents for regular maintenance.

Can anyone recommend a good independent auto mechanic in this area that works on Japanese cars? I've mostly been using Craven Tire & Auto in Sterling for my routine maintenance. I do some things myself such as changing a belt or filter, but I go there for fluid changes and the general inspection of various things that has to be done regularly. They seem like decent people but I'm wondering i

I'm trying to think of whether the computer store I tended to use was this CompUSA or a Micro Center. Is it the one that's down to the south of Vienna? In an L-shaped shoppinig center with a freestanding McDonalds? I think there was a craft store next to it. Software was mostly in the middle, books on the left and most of the hardware was in departments around the perimeter. Service dept on the r

Yes, First Kid was shot in the Galleria. There was more than one scene in the mall, including the climax where they shoot the bad guy by the fountain on the right-side end of the mall. Oh no, did I spoil a Sinbad movie? ;) I'm pretty sure I've seen some real movie shots of the lobby of the CIA headquarters in Langley. (edit:IMDB says it was in Patriot Games and a few others.)
