Here's hoping all of this year's hurricanes avoid our Gulf-istas.
Question for the hivemind -- do any of the major car rental chains offer one-way rentals? I'm thinking ahead to Thanksgiving & all the baby gear we'll need to lug with us and renting a car seems to be the most sensible way to go. OTOH, I don't want to pay for it to be sitting in my parents' driveway all week, so the best case scenario would be to rent it in NYC, return it in DC, and then do the same thing in reverse for the drive home.
Many of them do, although sometimes they charge you a (hefty) one-way fee.
Jesse, that just might be the studio where they filmed the commercial... I will check the DVDs for you.
Did I tell you they filmed an episode at the Grand Prospect Hall (said with Russian accent)?!
A weekly rental is almost always cheaper than two one-ways.
Hey, Emily! I was going to say that you were up early, then I realized that you're on Right Time now!
We may even have a regular East Coast AM crew again at this rate.
My mornings are going to be off for a while until I get a handle on this 'class at 8:30 AM' thing.

Still feels too early. Seriously, I'm getting more sleep now and feeling more tired.
Of course, last year I didn't have a first period class, so I could get a second cup of coffee and settle in before there were students. This year, I have a first period class and then there's study hall in my room, so I don't even feel comfortable making coffee.

Nah, it's definitely shot at Silvercup, per their website.

Heh.

That? Made of awesome! If you ever have one and a stamp to spare, promise you'll send me one.

Oooh! When can I meet Dylan? Plus, time away from the family visiting your friend in her new place if necessary.
If only Bush had listened to Gen. Petraeus's boss....
In sharp contrast to the lionisation of Gen. David Petraeus by members of the U.S. Congress during his testimony this week, Petraeus's superior, Admiral William Fallon, chief of the Central Command (CENTCOM), derided Petraeus as a sycophant during their first meeting in Baghdad last March, according to Pentagon sources familiar with reports of the meeting.
Fallon told Petraeus that he considered him to be "an ass-kissing little chickenshit" and added, "I hate people like that", the sources say. That remark reportedly came after Petraeus began the meeting by making remarks that Fallon interpreted as trying to ingratiate himself with a superior.
