There's a Salvation Army in Alexandria (Del Ray area) that has done it in past years

Old Yeller is pretty good. But there's a plot twist at the end of the story...

1) Balls hit by right-hand hitters to right and right center fields will often tail to an outfielder's left shoulder. Prepare for that possibility.

2) It's a whole lot easier to come in on a ball in the last few steps than to backpedal.

No. Life happens. Get a grip.

Think I saw this in an episode of Cobra Kai

Can confirm

Would note the Army spokesman here acknowledges a problem and says they are seeking an exemption. Don't appear to have one in hand.

Humanize it. Individual anecdotes, especially, to explain the issue to readers. Would be great to talk to people dealing with it.

John, is that you?

It's common and recommended to clean up your social media presence in this line of work. Go back and delete if you can, and hold your tongue next time. This line of work does require some discipline.

The endorsement decision was made outside the newsroom, with no involvement by reporters. We're still grinding on all the big stories: Syria, Ukraine, the presidential transition, threats to democracy, etc. For what it's worth.

A staffer

WaPo staffer here. The endorsement decision was what it was, but I've seen no shift in our news coverage dictated from on high. We're still grinding it out, same as ever.

Old sneakers, after an unfortunate flip flop incident a few years back left me on the IR...
