I'm going to go out in a limb and say that's probably not a coincidence.

I agree. My neighbor, who is pretty high up at the CIA, was told not to come to work today. Wonderful .

Yet, you're doing exactly that.

I had a Fed on the JS once that said when you get to the DC offices he feels like 3 out of 10 actually had work and a purpose.

The economy may still be struggling to break out in much of the country, but not in Washington, where local federal spending has doubled over the past decade, boosting federal agency employment and contract spending. Lawyers and lobbyists have rolled in from anywhere and everywhere. The local unemployment rate of 5.5% lies well below the national average. It’s also where median household income levels are the highest in the country.

For the second consecutive year, Loudoun County, Va., a 520-square-mile suburban mass that sits 46 miles from the White House, weighs in as America’s richest county.


In the age of the government industrial complex, life is good in suburban Washington, D.C. The area accounts for six of the ten wealthiest counties in the U.S., according median household income data fromthe Census Bureau's Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates from 2011.

Recently we had three FAA guys going over our plane with a fine tooth comb. Their combined examination determined a megaphone on the aft bulkhead was secured incorrectly. Don't know if the one guy will be able to make do without his compadres today.

Last week I took a 45 minute delay because a seat track stop bolt was missing. For you 75/76 guys, look down and see if the bolt at the front end of the seat track is missing. You'll be surprised. The FAA inspector also showed up 25 minutes prior to push, so while we waited I called the Mx coordinator in the OCC and told him he better get about 50 of those shipped to line Mx as this guy was going to all the 75/76's.
