Good morning from the Washington Channel, DC!

In a world where many are unhappy with their work-life situation, I am grateful to work for an amazing company. I know Craig Ruppert personally and his warmth and generosity is what makes the difference.

I'm a knucklehead, but if I had as many self-owns as our gubment I'd long have fallen into the fiery abyss of FAIL. As it is, they keep avalanching down the sh*t-hill to smother us with nothing to stop them.

If you're a #3dprinting hobbyist (or small business) in the #DMV area, I highly recommend checking out 3D Herndon in Herndon, VA. Nice store with LOTS of print filament and parts in stock for Bambu and other brand printers. https://3dherndon.com

Usually my head hurts from BLASTING ROCK MOOSICK at consciousness-obliterating volumes. This week my head hurts because of the STOOPID. Blast the STOOPID out of your brain with this week's Vinyl Assault Vehicle at a level that comforts you. https://bit.ly/VAV040925

Connecticut DMV Never Set Up System to Enforce a Century-Old Towing Law

Towing companies can sell vehicles if owners don’t reclaim them or can’t afford the fees. To protect drivers, they’re supposed to turn over unclaimed profits, but the state says that’s never happened.

Anyone have any apartment or fun-things-to-check-out recommendations in the Manassas, Virginia area? My wife and I will be moving there in a month or so for her job. We're in Reston now and only been in the DMV area for a little under two years. For apartments (or townhomes even better), we're looking to be walking distance to downtown or one of the other clusters of shops/restaurants (especially groceries and/or coffee shops).

Real ID: the DMV's latest attempt to make waiting in line a national pastime. Who knew a piece of plastic could cause such an identity crisis?
