89th, man.... this is getting a bit creepy.

I'm just giving friendly reminders of how the internet can be used easily. Give me google maps, white pages, linked in and flight radar, and that's basically all you need! LOL

In my taxi. Should be to the Cannon office building at 11:45.

I left the house at 5. If I had just driven here I’d have been here by 10am.

After your meeting you should walk one block north to SCOTUS and join a protest or something.

Sometimes they give free tours, even when they're supposed to be closed. The rule is, if the door's open, walk on in! Especially if there's a crowd with you!

The landing was one of the worst I’ve ever experienced. Aborted once. Massive turbulence.

Jon's not a liar

Those are some big ass doors. I had a friend who was a cop there who gave us a personal tour one weekend. Really cool... amazing spiral staircase (link) that is self-supported using the cantilevered design, a basketball court ABOVE the court (they joke that the basketball court is truly the 'highest court in the land'), and of course the actual court room in which you're not allowed to take pictures. Spoiler: I took pictures.

I've been to DC but all I remember was the Lincoln gift shop where the guy behind the counter was an afficionado of the assassination but not so much anything else about Lincoln.

That is a nice go-around. The wind was from the west (280) at 23 gusting to 35. He landed on runway 1 so the wind on downwind and final l was straight sideways.

I am a liar, I just happen to be telling the truth this time.

So if you lose your election you get booted from your office while they get it ready for the next guy. But your staff still has work to do, there are still votes, etc. So they have this area in the basement for you.

[89th]

Ha! Cool.

You should ask "Is this the Loser Lobby?"

[jon-nyc]

Yeah then one of those staff guys gets hired by someone else and my bill is DOA when I go see them in the spring.

[jon-nyc]

Langworthy (R-NY) to my right.

[89th]

Keep up the good work, Jon!

[jon-nyc]

Pingree, D-ME1. She’s one of our two lead sponsors (the other is Salazar, R-FL)

[89th]

Stupid question. What’s in it for them? Why would one rep or another support or not your efforts?

[George K]

He cleans up nice, doesn't he?

They are hoping for an invite to tncr.
