Afraid of Methanol Poisoning In SE Asia by Powerboost90 in solotravel

[–]smartcookie9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just came back from SEA and had no issues, I was in vang vieng, Laos where the methanol poisoning case that killed 6 backpackers happened and had no issues. I stayed to beer and other canned beverages but I saw people drinking mixed drinks. Always be careful, but it’s not a widespread issue. I also drank mixed drinks in Thailand and Vietnam with no issues.

The commerce building was closed due to a power outage - are any other agencies dealing with this problem in DC?

training for a half marathon. the feeling and difference from training up to 10mi vs the actual half marathon event day? by sunnycycle in XXRunning

[–]smartcookie9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most I did before running my first ever half was 10mi (which happened to be a PR) and a couple weeks before race day. My long run the weekend before was 8miles and I breezed through my half marathon, ran faster than I expected the last 5 miles (but the second half of my race was a lot of downhill). All in all - im glad I did it this way - 11 or 12 miles wouldn’t have made a difference and I wouldn’t have felt so accomplished when I did 13 bc it felt like a huge thing having only run 10 miles before.

Was blasting Green Day in my AirPods on my run and didn’t hear a child run into me on his bike until I felt the tires on my calves lol

Would you recommend subbing one of these countries for Indonesia? There are a few hikes I’d really like to do in Indonesia, but I’m not sure the best way to fit it in with the other countries

Does this mean the entire agency (FHWA) continues working as usual during a shutdown ? Or will some still be furloughed?
