Got sick of the VT basketball news, hasn't been great these last couple of weeks, managed to remember my login info here! So is this still basically right wing central/MAGA country, or have you all come to your senses? :D I'm still out there riding the rails when I'm not busy working a low wage acco...

Fair point. Stay off tinder and save something for a marriage partner, and you're less likely to run into those creeps imo.

And if I had to put it in moral terms, I'd put Smith's life as more immoral than Isu's at this point. Given that the latter used Tinder for casual sex hookups, that's debatable. But then I'm old school and I don't believe in casual sex, so I think I'm morally superior to 99.9% of the current popula...

Had the 2nd Moderna shot a week ago, I guess one more week for full immunity but I should be pretty well protected. Risks of Covid far outweigh the risks of the vaccine.

Missed that town when I was an undergrad at VT, so I figured since southwest VA joined the modern world and got passenger rail, I'd take Amtrak down! Stayed at the Hotel Roanoke - nice place, always wanted to visit!

Ridin' with Biden wrote:Hopefully, this is the end of Republicanism and an actual conservative party with a moral center emerges.

Aside from Mitt Romney and maybe a handful of others, there aren't many active Republicans with enough integrity to do so.

I think Biden is out last best hope for a return to normalcy.

Can you feel the freedom? At least we're not living under tyranny like those awful countries in western Europe where people don't routinely get slaughtered in mass shootings.

How are you doing?

Pretty well, thanks! Working in Wall, NJ at the moment, not far from my old summer hangout of Belmar but I haven't been to the beach this summer...adult life I guess!

AOC is a buffoon, and not an asset to the Democratic party imo. She should try the Acela though!

Long time fan of Tulsi Gabbard, loved it when she gave fake Harris a taste of her own medicine!

Long time, no post. Working at a digital marketing startup these days, trying to claw my way back into the professional arena! In my spare time, still preaching...

I'm a pretty liberal guy, but some of the biggest racists I know are ultra-leftist militant BLM supporters. I can't say that I know a BLM supporter. Maybe I'm not being broad enough in my definition, but even living in LA, I don't know anyone who has gone to a BLM meeting or joined in a BLM event. ...

http://aviationintel.com/it-could-have-been-the-attack-super-tomcat-21/ The Attack Super Tomcat 21 (ASF-14) would be a new build, highly updated version of the legendary F-14. A true “Super Tomcat” in every sense of the word, the machine would boast a large increase in internal fuel (over it’s alrea...

Hmm, says these links should be public: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10203905451786673.1073741827.1532817447&type=1&l=3ab66cc530 https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10200412293939910.2198076.1532817447&type=1&l=fb4086ed91 Anyway, the view is great. Large windows, c...

I almost took a train from Delhi to Agra, but due to heavy fog the trains weren't running on time so we ended up driving (in heavy fog)! One of the scariest rides of my life, but we made it to the Taj Mahal. So, the extent of my train riding in India was a ride on Delhi's new and modern Metro system...

How was that Williamsburg - San Diego trip? It was awesome. I went with sleeper accommodations using years worth of saved up rewards points; otherwise, it would have cost a fortune. But it's a great way to see the country! I visited my brother, who was living in La Jolla at the time, for a couple o...

All aboard the Hokie Express!

Rail is successful and improving in numerous corridors around the country. Incremental upgrades to various routes have produced popular services that include the Pacific Surfliner between San Diego, LA, and Santa Barbara (90 mph max speed), the Cascades service in the Pacific Northwest between Eugen...

It pains me to say it as a strong proponent of high speed rail, but this seems like a poorly managed project all around. That said, beware of right wing sources with an anti-rail agenda, as passenger rail remains anathema to the right. I hope that the project gets completed, and is cut a little bit ...

Yeah, Trump isn't a fundamentalist, but I'm talking about the Huckabee or Bobby Jindal types...I just remember Jindal saying the GOP has to stop being the "stupid party" and yet he's one of the ones professing to believe that evolution is a lie, Earth is only a few thousand years old, and ...
