You’ll be seeing these in cabs here in DC before long – WTOP is reporting that Fenty has approved scrapping the existing zone system and going to meters based on time and distance. Personally I think it’s a wash, though lots of people have strong feelings on the matter.
I’ll just be happy if they don’t put in any goddamned TVs.

Don: Well I used to say something in my profile about not quite being a "tinker, tailor, soldier, or spy" but Tom stole that for our about us page, so I guess I'll have to find another way to express that I am a man of many interests. Hmm, guess I just did. My tastes run the gamut from sophomoric to Shakespeare and in my "professional" life I've sold things, served beer, written software, and carried heavy objects... sometimes at the same place. It's that range of loves and activities that makes it so easy for me to love DC - we've got it all.
