We did a few days in DC recently. I absolutely hate driving I95 from about Fredericksburg north. A couple of side trips made it a bit more enjoyable. Lunch at the winery in Barbourdville, a quick stop at the battlefield in Manassas (basically had a private tour since it was late afternoon). Parking and downtown traffic was not much fun. Coming home we opted for 301 thru Tappahannock. Makes me glad I live on the outskirts of civilization here. Told the wife next time we park in Richmond and take the train.

The rail service from Dearborn to Chicago is supposed to be about 5 hours, it seems longer. I remember hearing about buying right of ways to prevent freight train delays. that was about 6 or 7 years ago and I don't think much has changed. You do save on parking if you're staying downtown, but taxi fares and metro fares, combined with possible rental car fares seem to make it inconvenient sometimes. About 25 years ago my son and I took Amtrak from Chicago to Clifton Forge, Va. There was no service into Roanoke, a town that once the lifeline of Norfolk and Western. It was hell. About 14 hours on the train, not to mention the hour drive family had to make to pick us up and drop us off.

As we have learned from Virginia someone who pretends to disavow Trump still becomes as bad as Trump once he takes office

RonJon as said some very stupid things lately. Par for the GQP

Yep...no retreads

Maybe if they hadn't deep sixth the previous administration's game plan

Common sense died a long time ago. It's been replaced by self entitledment.

Only the best and the brightest...

Oz probably thinks Rolling Rock is still a local brand

I blame Oprah, for both Oz and Dr Phil.

Let me get this straight. Biden is in cahoots with farmers, truck drivers and food manufacturers as well as grocery stores, who only see a small profit in vegetables. If Oz was a true Pennsylvanian, he'd grow his own stuff instead of galavanting across the countryside.

Could you guys do us a favor and keep him occupied for a few years (not that the Lt Gov and AG are improvements). Maybe show him where he can get some great deals on fleece vests, possibly interest him in a partnership with the Pistons...Get him drunk on Ice Wine... https://wjla.com/news/local/virginia-governor-glenn-youngkin-headed-michigan-campaign-republican-gubernatorial-candidate-tudor-dixon-gretchen-whitmer-november-election-support-state-convention-lansing-august-27-presidential-candidate He seems to be on the road a lot lately...

Not quite Nixonian numbers, yet... For those keeping track at home..

Amazing story...

I have a passport and a passport card. By “Official” I assume it’s related to your government job. If you are no longer employed you would lose it, right? TSA wouldn’t let me keep my airport badge once I stopped working (volunteering) at DTW. Do former Presidents get to keep their government passport once they become private citizens again?

Does Theodore have one. With Trump in charge of the party, one can't be certain.

Why would someone have two current passports? Unless one is under an assumed name, which is considered illegal. Is John Barron currently a CIA operative?

And the beat goes on…

As usual Republicans project onto Democrats what they are already doing

Next thing you know the Trumpublicans will be resurrecting Tommy Flanagan as their spokesperson
