It helps that I don’t watch the news.

Hello post 7p sunsets! Sun angle is now as high as it is on September 29. Should be another nice spring day today.

You can tell winter is over when there’s 10x the number of posts tracking a storm hitting 1700 miles away.

Got too close for comfort in the end but another big 2 points.

Caps owning the Flyers tonight.

Ha, funny you say that. When things are back to full capacity (hopefully next season), my friend and I are going to do a Canadian hockey trip and see the Caps play in Montreal and Winnipeg. I’ve heard great things especially about Winnipeg due to the smaller arena and the diehard hockey fans there.

Same! If Bowser doesn’t let fans back into Capital One soon, my buddy and I are going to head up to NY/Philly/Boston to see a Caps game in person. I miss going to games.

Wow, Georgetown ends the 1st half on a 18-0 run to take an 18 point lead at halftime in the big east championship.

Starting to cave Looks awesome there now.

Lol, when I clicked on the Laramie webcam that Ji posted, there was a girl (“influencer”) in a tank top posing on the bench in front of the store with a photographer taking her pictures. That storm looks like all storms this winter in DC so far....white rain.

Let’s go Caps!

Not sticking to the streets. Bust.

Wow, Georgetown advances to the Big East finals. They’d be a bubble stealer if they win tomorrow night since they have no chance of making the tourney otherwise.

HH will feature smoky strawberry jalapeño margaritas. A bit of work to make the syrup but well worth it for any margarita lovers. http://yestoyolks.com/2017/05/02/smoky-strawberry-jalapeno-margaritas-with-chile-salt-rim/

It’s a shame really. Ironically the USDA’s Soil Conservation Service is primarily responsible for the problems in the South (and now just as bad up here too). They planted it in the south in the 19th century to help with soil erosion.

Any 60s/70s showing up? That’s all I care about (selfishly).

We are thinking the lakes region in NH although I’m not sure I could deal with snow when I’m retired. Then again we’re in our 30s so by the time we retire global warming will make it 55 in NH during winter. I actually tried to get my partner to move to NC recently but he likes this area too much and we’re closer to family in NJ, NH and NY.

Brady and Bucs agree to 4 year extension. I’d love to see him win another SB.

Totally ok with that. I just don’t want the government to mandate it.

You should contact the Garrett County Health Dept. they have vaccine appointments. https://garretthealth.org/

Sorry, get ready for your 6” of snow next week in the northern winterlands . I’ll be enjoying the benefits of being in the UHI. Yeah, I don’t think the two are mutually exclusive...you can still be safe while dining inside (if you want). BTW, its the snark added at the end of your post that will antagonize and get the thread into the hamster wheel of arguing. Wish all of us would just drop that from posts.

We still go out to eat and order food from local restaurants as the impact on small business owners and their workers from the lockdown has been devastating. I really feel for them, especially these ‘mom & pop’ type stores/restaurants that have had to close so we’re trying to do our part to support them. One of our favorite local places closed last month after being open for over 25 years...the owners just couldn’t afford to keep it running any longer as they were forced for much of the year to do take out only. I hope some of these businesses re-open or others take their spots as the number of vacancies on ‘Main Street’ are staggering. It’s encouraging for these business owners to see the capacity restrictions slowly getting increased. ETA: I’m not belittling or criticizing anyone who chooses not to go out to eat, I understand we all have our comfort levels, etc. Just want to make that clear.

This seems to jive with some of the solutions I’ve read online, too. When I was last at the property, the landscaper pointed out where some of the rhizomes could be seen shooting out from the main area. Do you think I could take an axe to them to cut it off as a mitigation, too?

FYI, Garrett County has appointments available if you have know anyone in the county who needs a shot. They’re also taking information of people who want the vaccine but aren’t in the priority group - seemingly to reach out to them to get it if the appointments aren’t taken by priority groups.
