Hey @wmata, has the A70 bus route been permanently changed? The bus has been exiting Glebe Road onto 395 rather than continuing to 24th Road and turning left there recently. It doesn’t affect me and the ride still seems to move fast, but it would be good to know this. Thank you!!

Plane passengers bracing themselves for hours of hunger and frustration were instead treated to an unexpected act of kindness. fox5dc.com/news/pilot-buys-p…

This will be epic. I frequent Ballston and always use the Metro and having an entrance closer to the mall and a lot of the attractions will make a huge difference.
Replying to @SockDem_
Ballston’s is $177 million arlnow.com/2024/11/14/plans-…

Better enjoy the cooler weather while it lasts!! It felt like mid summer last week with some of the temperatures. Not looking forward to it. Mid 50s to Mid 70s would be perfect year round.
Cold nights, warm payoff • Freeze watch tonight (Tuesday) ⚠️ • Highs stuck in the 50s through Wednesday • Then a sharp warm-up begins We’re talking 70s by Friday and a near-perfect weekend pushing 80. Worth the wait. Details: cwg.live Photo by @RiverGirl707

My sentiment exactly. Claude has such low usage limits. I can use ChatGPT all day for intense tasks and continue using it on Plus. I would be locked out of Claude a quarter of the way into my conversation. ChatGPT has also been very helpful recently. The new models have helped.
Unpopular opinion: If you’re paying $20/month, ChatGPT Plus is better than Claude Pro.

I toured the US Capitol with @KYLEJBOSS22 on Friday!! We did a guided tour through our congressmen, which I highly recommend. There is so much history to be had that you can only get from an expert. Our guide was the best, she was incredibly knowledgeable and personable and really made the experience. The next 3 posts will be of photos of main attractions along the tours. Enjoy!! #washingtondc #uscapitol #capitoltour #americanhistory #visitdc #dcphotography #dclife #exploredc #history #usa #capitolhill #dcviews #statuehall #travel #government

One of two very significant rooms you see in the US Capitol…The Old Senate Chamber. This was the actual senate meeting room from 1810 to 1859. Also a place you may learn about, but it’s completely different actually standing in it. It is gorgeous.

The Rotunda. The center of the tour and the most iconic place in the building. The architecture is breathtaking. I tried to get a panorama by circling the camera around, but I wasn’t very steady so it didn’t stitch together well. Still worth it, so I thought. Make sure to spend tons of time here.

Saw the Supreme Court and the Library of Congress with @KYLEJBOSS22 after a very long while. Had a great time in our nations capital!! It’s so nice to be able to go to such a beautiful place so quickly and often. There is always so much to do, and much of it is free.

Happy 50th anniversary to Metro 🚇🎉 Got invited to the 50th anniversary commemorative ride… and ended up meeting @wmataGM!!! I’ve always loved riding the system, but being part of this was something else. 50 years of moving DC — and going stronger than ever. Thanks for your great service, @wmata. #washingtondc #metro #publictransport #citylife #dc #wmata #dcmetro #transitlife #urbantransport #dclife #dmv #metro50 #wmata50 #dctransit #railfans #metrosystem #citycommute

Took a tour of the US Capitol on Friday with @KYLEJBOSS22 and specifically requested our guide to show us the Capitol Subway System. The government was in session so I couldn’t ride it, but it was epic. I hope to ride it eventually!! Since 1909, this private underground network has whisked Senators and House members between their office buildings and the Capitol. It consists of three lines: * The Russell Line: Features vintage-style open-air trams. * The Dirksen/Hart Line: A modern automated monorail. * The Rayburn Line: Connects the House side to the Capitol. While it’s primarily for lawmakers rushing to cast votes, the public can often catch a ride if they’re on a staff-led tour. It’s a fascinating, hidden piece of D.C. history! #DC #USCapitol #HiddenHistory #Transit

I’m going to get better at posting frequently. I have a great friend of mine, @KYLEJBOSS22, visiting right now and we have been having tons of fun together doing tours in DC, visiting Baltimore, and some of my other favorite places. We rode the Metro late at night on Thursday when he arrived and did the closing meet.
