Okay, I’m getting antsy now to sell the car… I’ve had a few bites, but of course the mileage seemingly scares them off. I would hope that folks really look beyond just the mileage, as I think the car is aggressively priced. We’ll see in a month when the ads run out for the multiple [...]

I got a little “bored” and tired of hunting spaces, so I took a
previously established list on the ‘Net as well as some help from the
DC-Cycles list and compiled a Google Map (constantly updated) of all
the motorcycle reserved spaces in the and it’s surroundings (still
trying to get VA, Prince Georges County, more Montgomery County, and
all [...]

Okay, so I shamefully paraphrased BTTF… but today seemed as good as any to use it.

Well, Gaby an I had been hemming an hawing for a while about the merits of having two cars. The increased maintenance, insurance, and we have a full garage with a motorcycle, a scooter, three bicycles, and we’re “illegally” parking the spare car that isn’t in our driveway in the visitor spot in the development. We [...]

Well, I stole this line from Don Crowdis… but, I’ve been embroiled in a 3.5 week Odyssey at work… hopefully it’ll wind down. During that time I’ve managed to neglect some things (no, not personal hygiene), but hopefully I can get some of them back on track. I did fix a database issue with SoundtrackNet [...]
