Not that we’re planning on leaving anytime soon, but someday, when we’re not parked in Hampden, I’m going to remember fondly the days where I was walking distance from: (obviously) Falkenhans Hardware, Mill Valley Farmer’s Market, the Rocket, and the Dizz; and, (less obviously) the Baltimore Glass Company — who knew you could get a storm door repaired for <$25? — and E. B. Fluorescent Lights — ok, not walking distance, but I just scored a custom-built grow-light fixture for our seedling arrangement this year for $40, them seedlings better be good!
In honor of Dubya’s closing days, this post was brought to you by poor syntax and one helluva run-on sentence.

Some guy (do I know him?) wrote a nice letter to the editor encouraging politicians to consider a gas tax increase and increases in tolls, etc… as a way to help Maryland’s deficit while at the same time encouraging responsible consumer practices. Good ideas!

This is my dream team of sorts. Thanks to Johnny who pointed me to this blog of Don Delillo’s on the election. It strikes me (especially when you see that there’s another blog in this series of War on the White House blogs by “Pip Dawkins, 19th Century Street Urchin”) that perhaps it’s a satire of sorts — this could be some Onion hack making stuff up that sounds like DD. But maybe the overblown (and recycled — the first lines of the chronologically first post sound an awful lot like the first lines of Underworld) is just what we have to expect from DD these days.
