I think the first, being a Sunday will give you a better chance to drive.

Sorry not done VB since I stopped skating.

Trick is time and day - Tuesday leaving around noon is a sweet spot and then coming back starting at 7 PM often works well for me.

Just had a hell ride to DC and back today, some of the worst traffic I have seen in some time.

Weird car stuff happens around there all the time. The building across from Bombolini Pasta had a car slam into the building when I was there.

I know there used to be a person that sold it out of a pickup truck in the parking lot of La Cabaña Restaurante y Taqueria off Crockett St

If you don't find someone DM me, and I can ask the person that does my place if she is taking on more people.

It is very engaging and those pages go by fast.

I know almost all the American Family Fitness places that have pools all have classes for seniors and many are quite well attended. They also have other activities for seniors - they also have accommodation for people in wheelchairs.

As with all philosophy - the value is in the ideas presented for you to consider.

And this folks is how you move from peaceful/physical protests right on to armed violence. The regime has already had problems when they were going to execute someone known, they thought those were one-offs and other people will not care?

If I am going to recline and read, which I often do, I will take a hand towel and fold it and rest it on my chest. Then I rest my arms on the towel - if I feel anything damp I know I need to look.

Also depending on your bathroom, as in is there a huge amount of condensation then any sort of book will have issues. So good air flow can help. Keep in mind not all paper in all books were created equal - the paper in paperbacks is often thinner than hardcovers. I take this to mean there is a greater chance of them getting moisture due to how permeable the paper is. So I don't read paperbacks in the tub just to play it safe.

It is his first novel - given that it is remarkable how good it is overall. So an error or 2 is to be expected.

OP if you liked these since no one else mentioned it, might I suggest you check out Micheal Moorcock? He was one of the first SF authors to do a multiverse and his influence on SF and fantasy is vast. His main work is a series of characters tangentially connected all together call "The Eternal Champion". There are many different champions but the most famous you might dig - Elric of Melnebone.

You will be surprised to realize his work started on the character back in 1961 and see how many tropes come from his efforts.

My oncall weekend so sitting in my office here waiting to see if I need to take over any problems.

No wait might be a little tough with all the shopping insanity. Maybe one of the Ramen places, or like Pho SO #1, tonight would be the perfect night for it.

They are unique and do not follow well-established tropes for their roles.

To me, it's two big things - unique characters and backgrounds AND how few tropes he uses. All too often within pages, I can tell how a book will go - not with Abercombie.

OR stay and fight back.

And very likely

Bebop - bebop jazz like Dave Brubeck, Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, and John Coltrane

They have always been very open and approachable all the times I have been there.

Have you guys visited one of HackRVA open house Thursdays?

I got - Book of the New Sun / Howl's Moving Castle / Black Panther by Coats (this is a very nice edition).

More recent limited editions - old unique works are easier to find actually.
