We were close-ish...main benefit was the 20x zoom on my little point and shoot camera. It sucks for action though (max aperture at 20x is like f/7.1), so no real action shots from the game.

I’m was there! My dad is a huge NASCAR/Chevy fan, so I made sure to take some photos of the coin toss:

Yep. We have an X3,which is our only car, and the lease is about up, but the car is basically used for my wife’s commute (I ride a motorcycle and bike) and road trips with the dog. Obviously, none of the cars in this segment would be MY choice, but it’s what my wife likes and I can’t justify spending the extra money…

“Capitol” is the building. “Capital” is the city where the government sits. The U.S. Capitol building is located in the capital city of Washington DC.

Was out riding in suburban Md. on Saturday...not surprised I didn’t see these guys though, since I was on roads with curves. They only seem capable of riding on interstates and arterials. Too bad they didn’t make their way into Virginia...I suspect VSP and FFX police wouldn’t be quite so accommodating as PG county…

Let me ask you though, was what you saw of riding ability on your courses reflected in the pass/fail rate?

I’ve taken the BRC course twice now (due to new state not carrying over my M endorsement) and I’d say the women weren’t any worse than men as far as abilities went.

The buyer just fell for one of the oldest bakers grifts in the book: the Entenmanns’s Shim Sham.

Yeah right...next you'll be saying Cole Trickle looks like Tom Cruise!

Many years ago, while in Cairo, some friends and I were in a cab down by the Khan el-Khalili (grand bazaar), and traffic was horrible. This also happened to be right around the time of one of the mid-day prayers. So the call to prayer goes out, and the driver in the second car ahead of us, who was the first in the…

I just returned from a week-long work trip to New Mexico, which was my first visit there, and I was stunned by how bad the drivers were...and I live in the DC area.

Hopefully he's not in a contributory negligence state.

Don’t worry guys, we’ll always have the unique ability to pee standing up.

Brilliant foreshadowing with the broken picture frame.

“’We feel that this is completely out of sync with the traditions of our state and our nation to seek guidance from the occult,’” he said to the Register.”

The Dulles Toll Road (VA 267) doesn’t go into the airport. Dulles Access Road does, and it’s free.

The summer after a year studying abroad, I decided to stay on a kibbutz in Israel. Flew to Israel no problem, spent a day in Tel Aviv...all good. So the kibbutz I get assigned to was on the Lebanese border, about 3.5 hours from Tel Aviv. So I hopped on a public bus and was on my way...about 2 hours into the bus ride,…

And Gizmoduck, I assume...
