Gone.

I had some wine with a picnic in Byrd Park last weekend. No weird looks from anyone and no run ins with the law. It was a nice little day out actually.

Like you said, don't make a spectacle of yourself and it's not an issue.

Yeah, that situation kind of complicates things. Sorry you had to deal with that!

Has anyone seen them being installed? It seems really unsafe for a worker to be crouched down in the middle of the road bolting down a sign. Do they use shadow vehicles and stop traffic while they do it? I'm genuinely curious. In my line of work we have intense rules we have to follow to work in the road.

I'd have left. I have a rule that I will never attempt to argue my way into a restaurant. If they show even slight resistance to the idea of seating me, I'm gone. Immediately.

They're booked solid and I have no reservation? That's on me, I won't argue. I'm gone.

They have some weird, stupid policy that makes them not want to seat me like in OP's story? I'm gone just as fast. Except in that case I won't be back.

I did too. Virginia is an absolute nightmare as a renter. The laws in this state are so slanted in favor of landlords it's absurd/obscene. You are absolutely 100% at their mercy with little to no recourse if they decide to fuck you. A couple winters with a broken heat pump and a big annual rent increase as a cherry on top was all the motivation I needed.

I've visited New Orleans a few times on just some random weekends. It seems like there's plenty of opportunities for drunken mayhem there year round. I can only imagine packing the place with amateur drunks.

It's just like St Patrick's Day itself: amateur drunks and riled up cops. No thanks, I'll stay home.

It keeps Broad St from sliding down into the Shockoe Valley. Quite a useful building.

RIC is probably the most stress-free airport in America. Might want to look for another source of conflict for your character.

Since you're a witness/victim it seems unlikely that the prosecutor's office won't contact you at some point. Unless he pleads out early you'll probably have to testify. You'll learn all you want to know about him.

Glad you're OK though!

I asked someone from Philly where to get the best cheesesteak in town and they told me WAWA.

Every mosquito egg that was laid last fall survived this winter.

anyone wanna duel?

Must have been quite an evening.

Obvious Waze user.

I'm on vacation in Nairobi, Kenya. It's about 78 today. I'm flying home tonight so I thought I'd check the sub to see how everything is going. 5 degrees? I really hope there's no fuckery with my flights home. I'm laying over in NY and I only packed a sweatshirt!

It's a different style from the classic indoor mall. It's a faux downtown for the suburbs. Suburbanites seem to enjoy having their own walkable area with lots of shops.

Richmond is an old city with narrow streets, It's really not built for big trucks. They do what they can to get their jobs done. Sure it can be annoying but it is what it is. Businesses can't function if they don't get deliveries and all those businesses are what makes city life enjoyable. Just gotta roll with it sometimes.

Tan A. I was just there, they have tons.

They are required to show you the parts that failed inspection in the presence of a state police officer should you ask. See what they say to that.

I hate summers here but I know it's only like two months of punishment then it will all be over. Six months of that? Hell no. Come home!
