D.C. Icon Olsson's Books declares Chapter 7
I have very mixed feelings about this. As a liberal progressive I unconventionally believe in free market competition for businesses, while also supporting strong regulation of all businesses, big and small to provide good wages, health insurance, etc, and generally be a productive member of the community. Still it is sad to see a good place go.

South African Electric Car the Crown of Paris Auto Show
The Joule has been the darling of the Paris Auto Show, and it's easy to see why. The six-passenger car has a purported range of 250 miles, a 0-60 time of 4.8 seconds, and an out-of-nowhere backstory worthy of a Greg Gumble voiceover. It is estimated that this will set you back $22-28,000.

Whirlwind Visit Helen Weekend
This is gonna be a quickie. I am on a whirlwind tour to visit my daughter over the weekend. This morning I dashed out of class after taking my quiz at 11:20 to catch the shuttle bus to the metro to the MARC train to another shuttle bus to a Southwest Flight to MHT (Manchester, NH) landing at 4:30ish. 500 miles in 5 hours. Phew!! I am going to repeat the zaniness by leaving at 6:10AM on Monday in hopes of making my 9:30AM math class. Why all the fuss? That is simple. Look up on this page and you will see a precocious soon to be nine year old in a tree. I haven't seen her since she left Virginia two months ago, plus a Southwest credit was about to expire before Columbus Day.
Tomorrow I'm going to take her to gymnastics in the late morning and then she has a Girl Scout cookout that night. That ends at 8 so we'll shlep back here to Nashua, NH for the night and some well deserved sleep. In the morning hopefully we can make pancakes or something else fun. I pricelined and got a room at an Extended Stay with an efficiency kitchen - score!! After that H and I will head to the Montshire Museum for the rest of the day and then finally I have to drop off my not so little girl at mom's at 5PM.
Expect lots of pictures over at Helen's website soon. Well I have to wrap up a school assignment.
