Wasn't on that other forum but heard that all my favorite news sources are here now. 💙 Far more likely to read/comment than to post.

Would have loved to see the same thing happen in real life! But Pope Leo may be the next best thing.

I am eternally grateful for your piece about the tyranny of morning people. Thank you. That said, I am also grateful for the months each year when there's still daylight until 7, 8, even 9 p.m. But gawd that first week of DST is a bitch.

My favorite part of the press conference was earluer, when he started blaming Biden. I was watching on News4 in DC and they actually cut back to the newsroom mid-rant. I was very pleased! Unfortunately they cut back to the press conference before the worst of the DEI comments.

I listened to the police feed on openmhz.com and heard a couple of mentions of a hit-and-run at Wilson and George Mason that was related to the big accident, so I'm guessing it was that.

Looks like one of the vehicles on Wilson was dealt a glancing blow while the truck was in the wrong lane. As the truck continues towards Ballston on the wrong side of the road, you can see it bump a black SUV, which then slows and stops (as the police car makes the U-turn to follow the truck).

I don't see the pickup striking the white car "as it turned" onto Wilson. It looked like the car was already fully on Wilson when the truck hit it. I can't see the car starting the turn, but based on how fast the pickup was going, I think he wouldn't have been visible yet when she started turning.

I was concerned that this one ended up being fatal when I saw the Arlington Alert email saying that the road would remain closed for accident reconstruction. I'm so sorry to hear this.

That's important to me. I have musician friends whose albums I've bought there. And live music - that's my happy place, but my couch has some sort of evil magnetic force that I too often fail to overcome

Thanks! I've had Bandcamp ever since my then-16-year-old daughter put some of her recordings up there years ago but I never really explored it!
