A Quick Note to Jubran |

Something is Amiss at the IMF/World Bank |
s of 10am, somewhere around 18th and G Streets NW there is a fire. Word on the street is that an underground transformer is burning. The third floor vew we have at work of the NW corner of 18th and G is of smoke coming out of the building there. Streets are closed, the police and secret service are out and none of them are happy. You can hear the sound of fire engines and ambulances and a bunch of them are stopped nearby. There is also a sound like big dump trucks rattling as they go by -- maybe that's the sound of the burning transformer? The air has a burnt electrical component smell.

Another Skate, Another Blowout |
o if you ever wondered what would happen to your wheels if you skated on them for a few years to the point where they became little nubs, wonder no more. Three of mine broke during a long skate a few weeks back. I swapped them out for good wheels but kept one on that looked ok. No joy. It just blew out last night. Sometiems being cheap doesn't pay.

The Evil Seven Eleven in Cleveland Park |
t's terrible. They won't let you in on skates. And it's only the Cleveland Park Seven Eleven. Other Seven Elevens have no problems with skaters. But I was there (flyering the Lemming Route) and wanted a Diet Coke. So I used the iPod I can't hear you strategy.

How Many Wheels do you Need? |
o I started the Wednedsay Skate with eight wheels. In Georgetown one blew out. Somewhere between Georgetown and American University another blew. I was fine. I could have done the A2A. Even when the third wheel blew, On MacArthur Boulevard on the way back to Georgetown, I was still going. I was among the first to finish the skate.
