Got these from my backyard

I used to live in Herndon and commuted through Great Falls on my way to TRW. One of the worst jobs I've ever had. A true beltway bandit and a waste of 4 years of my life. I'm about an hour and a half south of there much of the time or an hour to the north in MD.

I assume by museum you mean the Udvar-Hazy Center? I've been there a number of times. Impressive stuff. Did you see the cemetery on the model from Close Encounters? I got a laugh when I saw that. I think there is a VW micro bus along with many other out of place items.

I wonder how many people have visited both the Udvar-Hazy Center and the Alexander Graham Bell Museum where the Silver Dart is on display along with Bell's HD-4 hydrofoil which held the marine speed record for some years.

Actually kind of a non-entity in that regard. There is such a thing as secu rity perimeter shrubbery that's impenetrable, the thorns will puncture truc k tires, takes a bulldozer to move it, with great effort.

We have one of those on our very block. All the tour busses can get to be a nuisance.

Not particularly brilliant to harvest roadside stuff...

The lanes aren't really roads. Few vehicles can manage them

I do soak them for a couple hours, in case there are any little worms; they bail and float to the surface. I seldom pick enough to make a

100% blackberry pie.

Besides, we breathe the same stuff as the berries already. A few berries can't matter. The air is really pretty clean here, in the Alemany Gap.

Really? Not sure what you mean by a "no-place". He was talking to me expecting me to be familiar with the area, which I am. I have been to Langley and it is very much *not* a "no-place". I expect you have seen images from Langley even if you don't know it.

You're an idiot. A presumptuous idiot at that. You are also a googletard.

A stone's throw from Langley, the CIA home base, you retarded twerp. NOT "a no-place". That would be a reference to what is between your ears.

It's a no-place and wherever you live is Ignoramusburg...

The place is an epicenter of government waste, a cesspool area, thank God they're down wind from me...

OK. I get my ICs mostly from Tx and Az, don't drink wine, and can take or leave almonds (pecans and walnuts are much better).

AlwaysWrong =DimBulb = Nymbecile = always wrong

AlwaysWrong just discovered Google and is trying to show how smart he is. The terminally stupid do that sort of thing.

You can get these decals cheap on Amazon:

Drunk birds don't fly, something else was going on.

They don't work.

You're as dumb as AlwaysWrong.

If Audubon says they work, they work. As usual, you're too damned dumb to follow directions, useless waste of oxygen:

You're dumb enough to believe advertisements. Perhaps you're even dumber than AlwaysWrong.

Really? I guess drunk drivers don't drive either...

Nice try, punk.

I am also right down the street from DARPA.
