They didn’t, and instead crammed the railyard into the neighboring 10e Arrondissement, unlike but also like how Seattle left the lands before Interbay until after the railyard claimed the valley.

You know, Costco tracks everything you buy and return. Wanna be known as the woman who returned a rotisserie chicken, when you need to return a $1600 hearing aid and they cancel your membership? Try taking that to arbitration!

Ice Block likely isn’t counterespionage, but how can we be sure? Even if it isn’t now, how can we know later the FBI hasn’t infiltrated them, arrested them and issued National Security Letters? What if they’re just waiting for us to lay them a bigger trap?

So liberating not to worry where to park, what might happen to your car, to arrive one part of Jazz Fest and depart from another without returning to the same parking lot. Those who only drive will never know that feeling, as if their car were a security blanket. There should be a word for this.

To cover the incredible jump in road maintenance, extra traffic, and hardware, charge: congestion zones for all cars; autonomous cars distinctly plated; high-occupancy lanes; VMT charge for all cars. We don’t want to discourage the safety benefits of self-driving. Regions should study and prepare.

My first visit to New Orleans surprised me how well public drinking could work, Bourbon Street closed to cars and other streets open to all. I hear of similar arrangements in Europe all working. Dump our puritanical blue laws, and just ban driving, drunk or otherwise.

Heed that unserious American vatnik no respect.

Warmongers among W's administration started US-Iraq War on false premise and fake intel. Saddam no longer had chemical weapons, but couldn’t afford to lose face, defense posture, or deny his own bluff.
