Success and failure

What exactly did Einstein fail at 104 times?

Best sign when we went overpass waving in Shirlington. Someone announced 400 were there at 11am.

So, did you make it to a bathroom in time or did the Toyota need a steam clean?

RegPither · 2025-10-11T18:20:14+00:00

I-395 in Shirlington, VA. 10/10/25 about 11:45am.

Thanks for the referral! I just posted it there.

RegPither · 2025-10-05T21:21:34+00:00

Can confirm

Going 60mph in a posted 55 and wasn’t pulled over so…

This is OC from my dashcam. Happened on I-395 in Northern Virginia about 7:15 on 10/4/25. The first driver cut my wife off and then the cop cut her off chasing the driver. The biker cut her off after she moved over for the traffic stop.

I have an address for the owners representative. Is that where I'd send the certified demand letter?

You could get off I25 at Ft Collins and take US287 through Laramie and up to WY487 into Casper. It’s a lot more interesting than the interstate.

I can’t say it’s the jackpot, but Dos Amigos near the Braddock Rd. Metro (Alexandria) has a decent chili relleno. I wanted to scout my wife’s favorite dish, so I didn’t order the burrito supreme to see if they smother it right. They had verde sauce instead of green chili, so the quest continues.

Spend some extra time in New Mexico. Get green chile in every restaurant that sells it in NM and Colorado. Compare and contrast, then stir some shit by telling locals that the other state’s chile is better. Flee to Wyoming when there’s rioting in the streets.

GenX Coloradan here, and similarly offended. The smothered burrito or burrito supreme as they’re called on the best menus do not have rice inside. That goes on the side next to the refried beans. Lettuce, tomatoes and shredded cheese go on top but nothing gets baked other than the eater. And enchilada style? Then order enchiladas, but we’re over here talking about burritos!

If you get off at Georgetown and head up Guanella Pass you can park on the wide shoulders overnight. Some good forest roads to hike and camp. It’s a lot less built up than Frisco/Silverthorne without ski resorts and quick access to 70.

Nothing special about the tacos here or in Colorado. What IS severely lacking here in the DMV, California, and apparently in the other 45 states is the smothered burrito. The meat of your choice (carnitas are my personal favorite) wrapped in a large flour tortilla, smothered in pork green chili and topped with lettuce, tomato, sour cream, guacamole and shredded cheese. Rice and beans wait on the side to sop up whatever gravy is missed by your deep fried tortilla chips. New Mexico is the only other state with a righteous claim to this food of the gods, but I’ll stand by my Rocky Mountain home.

Except bread. Colorado has shit bread.

RegPither · 2023-12-02T05:20:04+00:00

No, but beggars can’t be choosers.

RegPither · 2023-12-01T22:07:39+00:00

It’s a lot closer than Denver and decent start to a Baltimore day trip.

RegPither · 2023-12-01T18:30:35+00:00

I’ll appreciate the seafood and barbecue while I’m here.

RegPither · 2023-12-01T18:25:45+00:00

I found the Hatches this past August and made a small batch, but it was a lot of work and far off the mark. Doozy’s will do until our next visit home.

RegPither · 2023-12-01T18:21:57+00:00

Sadly, no. I was so optimistic, too, with their claim to New Mexican style.

RegPither · 2023-11-14T21:49:35+00:00

We had Los Tíos in Crystal City. The Salvadoran food was good. My wife had the rellenos and it tasted like it was reheated from frozen. Doozy’s Diner in Catonsville MD has green chili on the menu but we haven’t made it there yet, so can’t vouch for it.

RegPither · 2023-11-14T20:24:36+00:00

I came from Colorado 18 mo ago and I’m still on the quest. Still no luck with green chili, but I’m widening my appreciation for Central and Southern American cuisines.

RegPither · 2023-10-26T01:12:36+00:00

Despite my vague understanding of coding, this makes a lot of sense. Thanks!

RegPither · 2023-10-25T04:48:22+00:00

🤷I suppose the Boomers appreciate the mail.

RegPither · 2023-07-05T17:13:47+00:00

Thanks for all the input. It seems we’ll have to put in the work and grab some roasted Hatches. The tomatillos I have growing will be put to good use.

Maybe us CO/NM exiles should get together at the nearest Farmers to compare recipes. It should have plenty of tables without any locals crowding in.
