I took a tour of the DCA airport Saturday morning and went back Sunday for the museum. Very cool.

How cool is that museum? I had a few hours one day to check it out while I was waiting for the "weather" to clear at EWR :rolleyes:

You could have taken the pic while sitting on the back of a baby elephant :D

Morning Box, from the tax appraisal office. If they were ever on time for appeals, I'd be thrilled.

Such an understanding is asking way too much of the average person.

sbm12 talks to Teh Times:

the Times' greeting (sound):

Click here first

Then they get down to business...
then sbm12 goes off on a tangent

When I worked for the State of Maryland, I did some rule-making. There's one I wrote (and was ratified) where if the state commission didn't act within six months, the petitioner's application was automatically accepted.

Microsoft Bing cashback on eBay is still at 12%, the highest it's been in a long time. Hoping that it'll go up a few more percentage points (back to school) so I can engage in a few profit-making purchases ...

Poop. That sucks.

The first one was "Good morning", the second one is "How are you?", followed by "I'm going to ask you a bunch of questions, and I want to have them answered immediately", and then the tangent link was supposed to say "You lack discipline!"

:rolleyes: to remote linking.

That is a combination of real-world certain doom and media stupidity...far be it for them to fact-check.
