Another public holiday today for yours truly. God bless Mary and her ascension. I took a bike ride out to work to survey the route. It took my fat ass 26 minutes out and 24 well earned minutes on the way back. It takes 30 minutes by train (door to door) when you factor in walking to the station, waiting for the train, and then walking to my office. When we move to our apartment, the bike ride should shorten 1-2 more minutes, and the train route will increase another 5 due to more walking. I plan to make biking the norm on nice days. I have no idea how/if I'll manage in the winter time but many people do.

I got the following email from someone in my VA neighborhood. I especially love the part about the prostitution that allegedly occurs about 200 yards from my house. If I had only known...

Hello everyone,
Yesterday morning, Ryan McCarty was able to get a picture of one person who has been throwing glass bottles over the retaining wall and hitting our property. Turns out it was an 11 year old boy who routinely hurled bottles our way on his way to the school bus in the morning and also when he got off the bus in the afternoons. It was his daily routine. I got in contact with my friends at ACPD and we had an officer hidden,waiting for the bus to drop off. Like clockwork, the kid got off the bus, grabbed a wine bottle and hucked it at my house (seems fair since I was the one who set up the sting....ha!) The police caught him, cuffed him and drove him to his mothers place of employment.

He was very upset and apologetic. The same officer met him at the bus today after school and he cleaned up all the litter and bottles above the retaining wall and below the wall on our property. He will also be writing a letter of apology to the homeowners.

ACPD is going to set up a detail above the retaining wall for the next several weeks to see if they can get a handle on the late night loitering and other possible prostitution and drug dealing.

Hopefully we will see a reduction in the number of bottles coming our way.
