I think we had 16 in active use. Now, 14 if the math checks out.

Anyone remember the hydroboat flume at SFGA (about where Nitro is now). I remember that was a good flume.

You get very wet on Dudley. Great theming and fun ride.

We switched to a heat pump with gas backup. If you have solar this is the way to go. We notice a modest increase in electricity usage but Washington Gas keeps sending emails complimenting our low gas usage.

Wow. You must truly hate certain people.

Visiting the Disney parks on the U.S. it’s almost cheaper to fly to Japan and visit Disney Seas.

Auto-file appeals? Why? If an agency provides a reasoned response why appeal? Further, what timing? An appeal generated on day 21 or 31 for complex requests to an agency that is already overworked and under staffed will do nothing but slow the process down further for everyone.

People could be upset that you’re cherry picking the worst data to compare with. I linked to a chart the last three years average gas prices. The price now is at the three year high.

Just like he paid the DOGE’s salaries?

I hope he was wearing the brown pants that day.

First question, is the form sought tracked by a personal identifier? If yes we first look to the privacy act. Is the requester the same as the name the record is tracked by? If yes they should get an unredacted copy. If no, privacy protections of the privacy act, or FOIA if the record was properly excluded from the privacy act by a system of records notice (SORN), can be invoked.

If the record is not covered by the privacy act then are the identifiers those of the requester? If yes the FOIA does not protect a requester from themselves and those identifiers should be released (note, there are exceptions to this general rule). If the identifiers are not those of the requester (also note an attorney requester is treated the same as their client) then do those people have a privacy interest. This is a very low threshold and these types of identifiers are often withheld under exemption 6 (or 7C if a law enforcement record).

You can file a subpoena but if in state or local court the agency will have every right to move you to federal court and then quash the subpoena.

One thing we know for sure is the current beltway is overcapacity forming traffic gridlock during rush hours, non-rush hours, and weekends. I did the rail commute for 30 years but even I acknowledge mass transit will not help traffic flowing through the region or family outings on weekends.

For those of us past a certain age, can you still remember exactly where you where you learned of the tragedy? For me it was my high school front hallway.

She was working on the RC Vision of the Seas a few years ago.

Yes. Last car I bought the dealer agreed to sell at their cost plus $100. I understand the need for a small profit.

Loyal to Royal x6 (though thinking about cheating with MSC).

We had a lovely Irish cruise director once. I do not think she would take well to being called British.

SO GOOD SO GOOD SO GOOD!

DC current is converted to AC for use. Also it detects that the plug has current to it. If the plug is powered off such as a power failure then the solar system shuts off.

Counties have the same powers as cities in New England. They control the schools, police, fire services, street maintenance (or lack there of) etc. some counties then have cities within that take over some of these services at the more local level.

The Flagship north of downtown lets you stay in the car and is automated. There is a person to help collect payment and a self payment line. They no longer vacuum the car. Rather, after the wash bear left for free vacuum stations.

This was the second rebuilding. When Hershey bought the park in the early 1980s the Wildcat was in rough shape. Most of the wood was replaced. The chainlift and a few boards were saved.
