fourseasons

Back when I played ladies rec hockey in university, primarily as a goalie, the equipment was one-size-fits all (ie. men's equipment) and usually damp from previous uses. No matter how many times I washed my hands they smelled like damp hockey equipment for a full 24 hours. Which reminds me of a legendary Molson commercial about a hockey equipment bag:

Gorgeous sunset this evening.

I'm downwind from the fire, about a mile and half. Ash lying around all over the place and it just reeks outside. I'd appreciate some rain right now. For those familiar with the area, this is directly across Route 1 from the 24-hour WalMart and the Chuck E Cheese, and the Krispy Kreme is a couple blocks south. https://wtop.com/fairfax-county/2020/02/massive-fire-engulfs-fairfax-county-construction-site/

If you're referring to the location near the Eisenhower Metro station, it's back open.

Yikes. I had a basic broken ankle and it hurt like the dickens; can't imagine the pain she's in. Hopefully everything goes well from here on out so that a throbbing foot when there are significant pressure changes is the only long-term issue she'll have.

I can think of a few NHL teams that would like to speak to you re: the dominance thing. With respect to Brady and Belichek, I think it is part "Could someone else win already," but the media needs to take a bunch of blame for their hero-worship of certain athletes, like Brady, and professional sports leagues for encouraging that focus on certain athletes over the team sport aspect. At a certain point it becomes a turnoff to the average fan who otherwise would say that person is good at what they do. Now that I've probably annoyed a Pats fan or two, I'll move a bit down 95 and add that I'm sure I wasn't the only person who thought the MLB/media slobberfest during Derek Jeter's last season got really tiring really fast. I mean, good players retire all the time but they don't get pre-game ceremonies and goodbye gifts from every other team in the league. Of course, now he spends his time running the Marlins into the ground.

And look what happened as a result...

Put it in Celsius and you've only got 10 degrees to go before the freezing mark!

Looking at the traffic map, the worst time to get out of Dodge (the DC-Baltimore area) looks pretty nice. I guess the news people and AAA have done their job in scaring the daylights out of people.

Probably was a fighter jet. NORAD exercises have been taking place in the DC area since midnight and are continuing until around 5:30 a.m., with altitudes as low as 2500 feet. F-16s, UC-35As, a Cessna 182T, and a MH-65D Dolphin helicopter are included. (I think I just heard one in the distance.)

For the NHL it would be the owner of the Ottawa Senators.

If the 2nd half of the Redskins-Jets game is like the first half, at the next Redskins' home game an entrepreneur should stand outside the Morgan Boulevard Metro Station selling paper bags with complimentary eyehole cutting included in the price.

You're a better person than I am. I would have suggested reading the books and watching the movies.

Later on, the announcers were twisting themselves in knots explaining how Alabama can be in the playoff with two losses on the season. To me it pretty much summed up to, "Because they're Alabama!"

Guess this woman needs to move back to where she grew up: Canada.

Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6 (King James version)

Middle of the regular season, absolutely the tarp would have paid a visit for a while. Playoffs, deal with it. We're getting this game in.

Does anyone own a gong this thread could use?

Surely someone at People could have used a search engine to make sure the article got NWS' full name correct?

The videos were taken while the eye was passing over. They've got a lot longer to go.

Airlines are issuing waiver notices for Florida airports for flights scheduled in the Aug. 29-Sept. 4 timeframe.

Looks the same to me. Although I don't think it's over the bridge; it's a bit further back down the river.

You're not doing this properly! You should be calling bust based on the radar!

Plus there haven't been any "bust" calls yet.
