Some cities were built to drive in, others not. This is one that was not, hence a major part of the reason we don't drive in it.

And that's exactly my point. D.C. has density, making public transportation a useful option. Atlanta has sprawl, making public transportation less useful.


In other news the red line in Austin opened recently and they can't even afford to run it everyday because everytime they do, they lose money.

So I've got a Continental question. If you book a flight so full the only option is an exit row (which can't be selected) is it a good thing if you have zipo status that you might get one of them or should I keep wating for something to open up to snag:confused:. Of course on the outbound flight I'm not really wishing for a bump.:(

The DOW tends to plumet on days I'm not in the office. Wonder if I can use this as a reason to stay longer:confused:

No token for VPN connect I need to work from home on Monday issued today. I can see the buildings from my house but wi-fi doesn't seem to want to cross the street:mad: Got to love "security reasons" when I already have high level clearance if I work on the "other side of the fence". :td::td:

it is highly possible that a no-status picks an exit row at check-in leaving you in 29B.
