The landlord is required to notify you but there's no requirement for you to acknowledge anything. As long as they mailed something, they're probably in the clear unfortunately.

All it takes is your mail carrier to put it in your neighbor's mail slot by mistake or it to get lost in your pile of junk mail, and you might miss it but that's not on the landlord. You should definitely challenge them though, make sure they have proof they sent something.

There are lots of souvenir shops downtown, like around Ford's Theatre or the one in the McPherson metro station, that are definitely locally owned. You can probably find either an officially licensed hat or a knockoff, either way zero chance it's actually made locally.

There's also the $5 hat outside the stadium on game day option.

Or just buy an official hat at the the team store, the Lerners' business empire is a local enterprise, just not "small." It's open during games and also 10-4 on non-game days.

I recommend the blue hat, the red hat is jinxed IMHO.

OK, I'll bite since no one has given you that much of an answer. I mean, I took the MSF class. Street-legal motorcycles have got headlights and taillights, brake lights, turn indicators, speedometers, license plates.

Dirt bikes and ATVs lack all those features that make them street-legal while traveling faster than all of the slower vehicle classes, like me pedaling my bicycle, that don't require turn signals etc.

If you don't like 2 wheels you can get a street-legal 3-wheeler like a can-am. That's what one of the guys in my MSF class had.

But if you want to ride an ATV, lawn mower or golf cart on the street, yeah no it's a city not a farm, you will get blipped over pretty much right away.

This was my first thought too. Another would be, if there is another woman commuting, and she's sitting by the window and the seat next to her is free, sit there. Seems like the creeper is least likely to approach in this situation (versus if you are standing up or sitting next to an empty seat).

Did anyone see where the exploding manhole cover went? (Assuming that's what happened.)

The main emphasis needs to be on the major crosstown roads (like Connecticut Ave) that allow you to ride from A to B most directly -- these are the direct, through roads that are typically graded with gentle slopes (dating back to streetcar and even horse wagon days), like Connecticut. In theory they're the most ideal for cycling.

But these are the very roads where people are afraid to ride, because vehicle speed differentials and volumes are higher, and it's scary. So they're where bike lanes are most essential, where people can't and don't ride bikes today. Every now and then I'll suck it up and chance a half-mile on Rhode Island, Mass, Benning, South Dakota, Michigan because I need to get somewhere and don't have an extra 20 minutes to backtrack through random neighborhoods and maybe get lost, but it's no fun and not a risk I'm going to run regularly. But most people wouldn't be caught dead on any of those.

To really reap the reward of getting substantially more people riding for transportation, the city should refocus on getting the major network done first. Where I live I have got north/south bike lanes on 17th, 15th, 14th, 11th and now 9th -- and I ride 13th a lot too, which is fine without bike lanes. Along with east/west lanes on already slow streets like Q, R, T, V, W. That's great and I appreciate it, but I'd trade any 2 or 3 of those to get any of Connecticut (done!), Rhode Island, NH, Florida, or NY Aves.

Planners should keep in mind that drivers who only need to move their right foot an inch to accelerate to 25 aren't really affected by hills, slight detours, stop controls at ever intersection. But on a bike, a direct route, steady climb/descent, and green lights are so much better, and are what will see this new infrastructure really get used by everyone and justify its construction. Even the drivers complaining will get an ebike and ride it in on nice days when major commute roads like Mass, RI, Bladensburg, Benning are straight shots.

That is a featured called Power Reserve in any recent iPhone that works for up to 5 hours (when the battery is deadish but not dead dead, in this mode it turns off and then shows a "you need to charge me" icon when you press the power button). I think Google is planning something similar but that currently Androids don't have this.

I was crammed on the Dulles mobile lounge the other week with my nephews and my mom, and they had big backpacks on from flying economy plus without a carryon. Anyway, there was a huge backlog of people trying to fit on, I suggested to my mom she should take off her backpack and hold it in front on her feet, like I know from riding the packed train, because she is taking up the space of like 3 people.

She was like "why would I do that?" and left it on. And after completely missing the point, my own mom proceeded to whap me in the face with the backpack about a half-dozen times while the lounge was driving back to the main terminal, basically every time she turned to look out a window or whatever.

Anyway, good luck on your mission.

When they wave you off, usually it's because the machine is broken (besides SmarTrip card they accept bills and coins, and those mechanical bits are the parts that most often jam or break).

Is just one of the many things that can be broken on a bus but not prevent it from covering its route. Heat is broken? Bus drives. Farebox is broken? Bus drives. Axle is broken? Bus does not drive.
