Happened to me today. After four months of love and bliss and peace, she was pissed off at me and I'm ashamed to admit that I responded in kind. Of course, it was my fault. It's kinda like getting that first scratch in your beautiful new car :)

Just received this from his office: Thank you for contacting Delegate Bohanan regarding the upcoming firearms bill debates and votes in the House. After considering all the information that has been made available to him, Delegate Bohanan has decided to vote against HB 294, the Firearm Safety...

Can anybody report on the road conditions getting into the base?

Just got a text message -- base is open with unscheduled leave. Essential employees must report.

Just called 342-BASE, and they were playing a recording from January 18th. Any other sources of Base status information?

Wow, generators are super hard to find.

can i bring them inside to light the table after the sun charges them?

I've got some of those, but they're not very bright, and I want the kind that looks like to old liquid-fuel campfire lights that you could put on the picnic table to provide enough light for everybody

Great tip. I'll head to CVS as soon as the open at 8

I'll give it a shot, thanks for the tip. Yep, you can still buy non-maintenance-free batteries. My motorcycle has one too. But I think they're more sensitive to being run down too low--has something to do with material precipitating out of solution and accumulating in the bottom of the cell...

That's possible, but I've had my share of bad batteries and bad starters, and this one seems like a starter to me. Tell me if you agree: Yes, the van sat outside for a long time since the last time it was started. I expected the battery to be dead, so I didn't even try to start it...I brought...
