Despite what you may have heard,¹ DC’s metro isn’t actually the worst transportation system ever conceived. Yes, sometimes it seems that administratively WMATA would like to vie for that title, but normally you can get from point A to point B (even if you have to stop at point Q and wait for a WMATA [...]

Note to criminals, creeps and their sympathizers: this post involves identifying info you could’ve found anyway by clicking on the “Contact” tab above and finding me on Facebook or Twitter. That said, if you get any stupid ideas, you’d be surprised how easy it is to find you. _________ I used to be a Bugle [...]

Miss Bianca, her trusty Orville and I are moving.¹ We’re not quite at the packing boxes stage, though maybe we should be. Actually, we’re still at the “looking for a place” stage. And that brings me to the point of this post. Lessors, landlords and property managers alike, take heed. 1. When you don’t include [...]

I’ve been doing a little more shopping than usual lately. I haven’t done a lot of buying, but I have been doing a lot more looking. So here’s what we’re gonna do about that. Below, there are pictures of four products I have come across in stores in the past few weeks. I have purchased [...]

I got tagged a couple days ago by Patrick at The Definitive Dmbosstone. But if you’re reading this, and have a blog, you probably know just how bad I’ve been at reading blogs and taking care of mine, lately. So right now is the first chance I’m getting. “Tagged” means there are some rules, right? [...]
a squirrel’s gotta do..

Everyone’s making adjustments these days. Apparently, even the wildlife. These pictures are of a squirrel at its tree-home just down the street from my house. Who knows what was in that brown bag it had? And though I tried my best, these still shots of what it did with that brown bag will probably not [...]

I had no time for you, today, NaBloPoMo. And I liked that. So this is the best you’re getting from me today, oh venerable blogging challenge. … Ok, ok. I’m sorry. I take that back. I’ll make up for it tomorrow. Please forgive me. But, uh, for now, how about a joke? Ready? What quacks [...]

me: day what? senior attorney: day off. me: *staring at Gmail: they make those?* So the only reason I left my house yesterday was to head to Nationals Park. Since I’d been to RFK, but never made it last season, I can say that this footstep… … is me crossing the threshold of the Center [...]

That up there? What Miss Bianca delightfully referred to as “Easter brunch.” That’s mall food court style Taco Bell. And after eating it? Well, let’s just say we’ve met our Taco Bell quota for the year. We had great plans today for that mall and the Costco across the street. But it wasn’t meant to [...]
because even idiots need health care…

… this was on one of the checkout aisle racks at my local Safeway. This isn’t one of those “I have a problem with [insert object of disdain here]” posts. It just seems sad that health care is even something for which we need an idiot’s guide. It seems like the issue at the core [...]
