What places hold particular allure for you; where might you like to live?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh my. I really don’t know at this point. So much of what I like is kind of dictated by other things in my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think when this prompt first came my way was before the advent of things like ride-sharing. Getting around used to be very difficult. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even doing things like getting to my doctor’s office in DC used to be a major production, even after moving up here. Today it’s as simple as hailing a rideshare, or calling a taxi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got the email about my ride back after my doctor’s visit Monday. It wasn’t cheap, but the fare really wouldn’t have been a lot different than if I’d booked it myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I only paid the usual paratransit fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I help keep the taxi companies in business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of DC, a lot of worldwide attention paid to what happened there yesterday<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initial reactions haven’t aged well at all. Don Lemon will continue to race Tucker Carlson to the bottom of viewership numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I glanced at the four local senators’ X feeds. Three of the four had appropriate responses. Timmy stayed silent; go figure. (Yes, I’m talking about Kaine, Grok. You’d think it’d figure out that I live in Virginia….)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was a little surprised there weren’t early takes saying that thoughts and prayers are stupid, and this wouldn’t have happened if there were commonsense gun laws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time to go watch the parade, dog show, and football.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
