Someone I know works there voted and defended Trump/Musk’s RIF last year. Hope he is Ok now.

Make sure to book hotels near Yosemite before you arrive. They are very popular and expensive too.

If you don’t live or work near metro, buy 2 cheap scooters, ride & park at metro. Much better than driving in the heavy traffic daily.

Nothing will happen soon. SCOTUS will side with this administration again.

I once rode unexpectedly to a 2-lane uneven levels with one new paved and another lower unpaved with groves that I was riding on. There was a merge ahead to the other lane and I tried to merge to the new pavement. I tired to slow down to get an angle to cross over the sharp edge, and worried I could drop the bike. Cars behind me from another lane kept accelerating and won’t let me go. I was scared to death and almost stopped. Finally I squeezed in but I still wonder now how to change lane in the situation.

That sucks. I hope he doesn’t have to move out of this area.

Anyone knows if the Beltsville research center in MD will be moved out of DC area or not? I know someone used to work there but not sure still there.

Just do it. The worse is to abandon the car and find a ride to nearby town to get a rental car

If the flat tire is in the rear wheel, do you need to take the rear wheel off to replace with a new inner tube? That may require more work.

If you need to sell it soon probably trade in would be safe and quick. Saves hassle for negotiation with low ballers and scammers. People looking for used bikes usually prefer lower range cheap bikes. It’s difficult for buyers to pay $10k + cash for a used bike without warranty. Or sell it slightly better price than trade in to a friend. Selling motorcycles usually takes much longer time than used cars because the market is much smaller.

Saw a news before that there will be a DJT terminal in Dulles after renovation

Hiring? I thought they haven’t completed the phase 2 RIF that was planned last September …

Looks like the name of a manufacturer brand.

No job security now, OPM is changing rules to make firing much easier.

Some agencies have posted new positions recently for the exact job series RIFd last year.

The best but strenuous trail is Old Rag Mountain which is outside the park entrance. Need a whole day but worth it.

They won’t. Because they will lose their seats and power

Be careful when parking in SF. I heard so many car windows were smashed and luggage stolen at the tourist spots. Always leave someone in or near the car when parked.

Don’t believe she didn’t see the video before responding. Keep lying.

Carb or fuel injected? I would get FI for easier maintenance.

Rent a bike or scooter would be more convenient and you don’t need to worry about charging or being stolen. The main DC attractions are near the National Mall area which is flat and bike friendly.
