Saw the windows you posted photos of, but was unwilling to wait on the ridiculously long line to get in. So, I went to BLT Burger instead.

4th and 2 with 7 seconds to go

Eeesh, that was a nerve wracking football game. Half the games yesterday seemed to be final second games.

But we're now 1-4, bay-be! One. And. Four. Wooo hoo!

something else i don't get

more and more receivers are 6'4" or 6'5" or so, but dbs are still 5'10"-6'. Why aren't there taller dbs? Or even use your tall receivers as goal line dbs.

Yes, a team whose quarterback is unfamiliar with end-zone boundaries too!

The week after that, we play the Bengels. October could turn out not to be all that bad after all.

Because dbs need reactive skills (and huge verticals), which are found in smaller, quicker athletes. It's a lot easier to make a move when you know exactly where you're supposed to go. DBs need to be able to anticipate routes and, if necessary, make up for mistakes quickly. I would imagine at the goal line, those skills are even more valuable. If you put a tall guy out there on defense, I would counter with my quickest guy and have him cut back and forth until your guy's knees are broken, which wouldn't take long.

We had a similar reaction to the long lines on Saturday. Bleecker Street Pizza was quite tasty though. And I found out I could be eating cherry-dipped ice cream cones on a regular basis if I lived in New York! This is a huge draw! Now I just need to wait for global warming to do away with NY winters and I'm totally there.

For those who know something about prostitutes

So, around the corner from us (Hi TM! That means me and the BF!) here in our Nation's Capital (and for those looking for services, we're talking 11th and K) I have noticed that when I'm coming or going around 5-6am in the morning, there are tons of prostitutes working the area. I never see any at 12, 1,2....in the morning. Why is this? At first I thought it meant that they were only working ridiculously odd hours, but then someone suggested to me that maybe this was their slow time and I don't see them in the midnight-early morning hours because they're busy off with their johns. Another person suggested that maybe it's when guys can leave the house early claiming they are going to work out the gym or something. I, personally, have no ideas.

Can anyone shed some light for me on why I only see prostitutes on our nearby street corner at like 5-6 in the morning? I would ask them myself but they usually have men with their car windows rolled down talking to them.


Thanks in advance!

Excuse me, but "proactive" and "paradigm"? Aren't these just buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important? Not that I'm accusing you of anything like that.
