SEE YOU ON THE TRAIL, SCAG!

Being a big fan of #Fallout 3, I found riding the Washington, DC metro for the first time to be a deeply unsettling experience.

Just got off a customer service call with someone who was clearly working from home with a (happily) screaming and laughing toddler in the background. After the call, we got a survey. You were a 10, my dude. You were a 10.

I’ve never been a car guy, but HOLY CRAP WANT: #keicars

Sweeeeet! It doesn’t do anything for me, but it’ll help a hell of a lot of other people. www.newscentermaine.com/article/news...

I haven’t been to a ballpark in years. I’m curious how much a hot dog and a beer will cost, and whether it will be over the “fuck it, I’ll eat at home” threshold. I don’t have a number in mind, but I’ll know it when I see it.

I would like to buy this person a beer. Or maybe a box of sharpies.

Based on my ride yesterday, my fuel economy works out to ~13.8 miles per hotdog.
