Whod've Thunk?

I never thought I'd say this, but I'm rooting for West Virginia. After watching them manhandle Wake in Double OT (Wake was lucky to even make it to either OT period), I'm hoping they take Texas Tech.

Final Word- How can you not root for a team with players named Pittsnogle and Herber.

Simple Syllogism

A basic tenet of logic is:

If A, then B.
A.
Therefore, B.

Putting this into practice:

If a certain practice results in a harmful consequence, it should be avoided.
Getting the flu is a harmful consequence.
Therefore doing something that results in getting the flu should be avoided.

and

Angela painted the house and got the flu the next day.
Therefore, painting the house should be avoided.

Ahhhh- glad we cleared that one up.

Greenway expansion

This really only matters to people who live in NoVA, because the exit names/numbers won't mean a hill of beans to anyone else.

Nonetheless, good news about the Greenway and expanding lanes, new exits, etc. The one I'm particlularly interested in is the exclusive ramp/entrance to Dulles Airport. Now, it may only take us 7 minutes, as opposed to 10, to get to IAD. ;-)
