Dog is my co-pilot.

Boss will have a rental car, so the drive out to Falls Church will be all him. I'm not sure how familiar he is with the area, so I'd rather go with whichever airport will have an easier/less confusing drive out.

I'd still opt for Joey Ramone Memorial. (I like that name!) It's way closer to Falls Church than Dulles is. Either drive can be confusing for the uninitiated.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have no idea about the actual geography, so I just think it's hilarious that Vortex said National is closer and Bobbi said Dulles is.

Our wings are not tired.

National, now renamed Joey Ramone, is always our first choice over Dulles. But now I am enjoying renaming many other inappropriately named memorial highways, buildings, etc.

eta: I think Vortex and Bobbi both called Ramone as the closer and preferred option.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Quiet day today. Later we head up to B'more to meet up with a visiting filker friend.

Huh? National is closer, which is what I said.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Jesse just switched the order.

FWIW, Google maps puts Dulles about 17 miles out and National 10 miles. Given how much nicer National is to fly in and out of, I'd definitely go that way.

I did just switch the order. Vortex:

Dulles is MUCH closer to Falls Church

Conclusion: Don't go Dulles, that way leads to madness. Or if this was Bitches, Conclusion: Let's make out.

I have grown older, but not up.

Anyone know a way to look up the L&L of places somehow?

More tools: [link] and [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thanks, dcp. I think it'll take a combination of sites for me to find some of the more unlabelled latitudes and longitudes, but especially that first site will be helpful.
