seems like it is no longer the case... or maybe i can't negotiate.
In a process of buying Omega Seamaster at the moment (I was suppose to stop by AD in Tysons before all this pandemic took place) Best they could offer me was free stuff like crappy pen and a hat. Not even NATO strap.

that's the place: https://www.omegawatches.com/en-us/store/storedetails/7270

You won't get a discount at the Omega boutique. Go across the highway to the other mall and go to Lenkersdorfer (sp?). You should get a discount on the same watch over there.

Did an urban ride today. City very tense and looks like Miami before a hurricane, all plywood. NG out and even DEA agents have been called in to run traffic control/roadblocks.

Stopped at a light just west of Union Station and there were about 50 Federal Agents gearing up for tonight I think. Lots of folks at WH but I stayed back from the Covid incubator.

Protest march went by our place in Clarendon with ACPD escorting them safely. Stark contrast with dc police shooting tear gas into a private residence that let protesters find shelter from the streets.

DC Police (MPD) seems to be showing a lot more restraint, with the majority of the violence and aggression coming from the federal police agencies like Park Police, Secret Service, etc. I think Bowser is genuinely worried about the optics of her cops coming after peaceful protesters in the same way that Trump's cops are. And she's also pissed that the White House discussed the possibility of the feds taking over MPD.

Apparently the AG directed the dispersal of people in front of the church last night. He has no authority to do that as far as I am aware.

Trump came to my quiet little neighborhood today for another photo op at the John Paul II Shrine. They claimed it was to commemorate his 100th birthday even though that was like 3 weeks ago.

A legal commentator (Jeffrey Toobin?) said on CNN last night that Trump cannot send the military into a state unless invited to do so by the governor, but has carte blanche to use the military in DC because it is not a state. :censored:

Maybe it's time to start looking for a home in NoVA . . .

The president can absolutely and legally send troops into states uninvited.
