    OT: Question about Baltimore/DC traffic on 95

    Do yourself and your sanity a huge favor and stay away during rush hour. Sure, Fridays are a bit lighter BUT it is still a nightmare. I suggest you leave the night before... because rush hour here is not just an hour or 2, its a 4 hour window. 95 from Baltimore to DC is always congested...

    OT: Selling condo - responsibility of condo assoc. after neighbor fire?

    As President of my condo (highrise) that has guided my community through a few disasters (and we just had a major fire yesterday) - let me chime in here. But note that condos operate differently - you need to check your rules. 1) Does your community have a property management firm that...

    OT: Colonial Williamsburg/Busch Gardens

    As a resident of DC, I need to chime in here... be warned, DC is a zoo at Spring Break. I generally do not advise people to visit then cuz the Cherry Blossoms shut the town down. So, unless you absolutely have to see the cherries (though I prefer the tulip magnolias myself), then save yourself...

    OT: Erin Andrews Awarded $55 M in Video Stalker Case

    You are mixing criminal and civil trials. Civil law verdicts are not views in totality or in relation to other contexts... this was one case and once case only. It was a case of gross negligence. And in the case, the negligence was gross. That is not to say that juries are not swayed by...

    OT:Gettysburg recommendations needed

    Definitely add a trip the Eisenhower's home... he was an amazing man and this retirement home showcases how this brilliant military mind decompressed. (Plus it has some gorgeous views) You can add that on at the park. And if you are into the paranormal, I would suggest a ghost tour - there...

    OT: Erin Andrews Awarded $55 M in Video Stalker Case

    There was a standard of care that is expected as a guest, and that standard was not met. What did they do to warrant this? They released her room information to someone they did not verify. They put someone next to her that specifically asked to be next to her and never checked with her. If...

    OT: Princeton Professor Arrest

    It is most definitely NOT a "left" thing. How often do I see actions immediately blamed on the left, or even politicized as liberal leaning when there was no mention of left or right anywhere. As the 24 hour news cycle has continued to polarize the electorate and create a giant cataclysm in...

    A Call to Action by the Fans - RU Giving Day 2015

    Saw something on twitter that said they reached their "donor number" goals, the donor dollar about was $500,000. That seems low. But I expect more from our alum. What am I thinking?

    A Call to Action by the Fans - RU Giving Day 2015

    It is a huge university system. If today doesn't break at least $1M, then our alumni have failed. Seriously, if all alumni gave ONE DOLLAR....

    The Walking Dead Mid-Season Finale-possible spoilers

    Right? I did not understand why they didn't go through them. They have a rocket launcher! And what about Ron (the older brother that almost shot Carl) - his idiocy attracted walkers to the house. That kid needs to go. As for Morgan - if Carol comes to first and sees that their doctor is...

    If RU hadn't collapsed against Maryland...

    oh stop with this reframe. He did not coach on game day. He was suspended. He did wrong(s)... massive wrongs. He embarrassed our school. He set our program backwards. He he deserves nothing but disdain in my book. We had trouble on and off the field. He was a stubborn man that could not...
