I heard Eat The Rich is a pretty good docu-series. I gotta watch it.

I went to one of those once upon a time that was in Reston. They said they had tools but they were all garbage and almost all of the sockets were missing so you essentially needed to bring all of your own tools which is a tall order for a big job. They closed down shortly after

Better sidewalks, protected bike lanes, signalized crosswalks near schools, bumps out preventing parking at intersections, and streets designed for their low speed limits.

Probably taking advantage of the people moving down from NOVA that every news site keeps talking about.

I'm thoroughly enjoying Abbot Elementary. I also watched one of my guilty pleasure movies last night, Sleeping With Other People.

I live in North Church Hill just south of Fairmount. I’d love the sidewalks to be continuous and not start and stop randomly. And to be as nice as the ones on the other side of Venable.

Abbott Elementary is perfect for those who love The Office and Parks and Rec.

That recent episode of Last of Us made me cry. I had no idea what I was getting into when I started that episode.

I just finished watching "The Glory" on Netflix.
It's a great revenge story; I think maybe it's possible I like it so much because it's very satisfying to see bullies get their comeuppance.
I had my fair share of bullies growing up; but the bullying in the show would definitely be classified as school violence.
It is in Korean; I recommend watching it subbed and not dubbed.

I use a large jack and 4 stands. Total cost was about $250, and now I always have them.

The water table here I think requires all rail to be above ground

There's good rockhounding in Virginia if you're willing to drive a bit. You can find garnet, amazonite, amethyst, blue quartz, turquoise, unakite, prehnite and much more. There are some old mines that will seasonally be open to the public and are usually great for kids. Lucky Lake is one that's not too far that should open in the spring. But you can also Google rockhounding maps of Virginia to get suggestions on where to find different rocks. It's not as simple as looking in the back yard but it can make for a fun getaway.

Favorite recent shows are probably "Severance" and "House of the Dragons". Watching last of us and it's pretty awesome so far.

I appreciate it but I am not educated enough at this point to meet with, "a guy".

Idk if it's taxes, but my guess would be funding has run out or slowed. They've tried to host one or two "block parties" that were pretty unimpressive. I don't think the locals on the hill care about trapezium that much.

Definitely hadn't heard that.

There were a few startups that attempted such a thing, but insane insurance rates killed all of them that I'm aware of. To the best of my knowledge, nothing like that exists around here.
That said; do you really need the lift? I do 90%+ of the work on my cars, and a simple floor jack and 4 jack stand have never let me down. I even fully rebuilt the entire front suspension/drivetrain on my Silverado early in pandemic without a lift. What are you working on?

I've been rewatching the west wing. I always enjoy the early simpsons and king of the hill. Movie wise, I saw She Said and thought it was a good movie.

I'm really enjoying The Last of Us. Has started deviating from the game just enough to keep me on my toes.
Dropping my old dog off for dental surgery today. Cue ball of nerves for the entire day!

I thought I heard they found old bones/human remains in the cellar and that’s the hold up at this point. Can anyone else confirm that?

Reply to comment by LowLifeHighJinx in Student death sparks conversation on pedestrian safety at VCU by CrassostreaVirginica
Part of the appeal of VCU is that it is in a city. Plenty of other schools are comparable. The Oakland area in Pittsburgh is very similar with multiple schools. Cities should prioritize pedestrians by design, not cars.
