    Losing money and making it up on volume is not a good long-term scenario.

    My guess is that the North America - Iceland routes were profitable but the shorter European flights were not.

    Owned or operated?

    Flown WOW twice and both experiences were perfectly fine. 1,100 people are out of a job. It’s a big bummer. This is a good explainer. "WOW Air - The Spectacular Crash of the Purple Airline" by Value Grettisson on grapevine.is

    For deli - Toojay’s. I’m sure some will say it’s now too chainy, but crispy latkes with sour cream and sugar (applesauce is gross) and a proper Egg Cream can be hard to find in the DMV. I acknowledge my opinion on applesauce may be controversial, but I dont care!!!!

    Exactly! The tuna sandwich (rare) is always good. And the hush puppies never disappoint.

    I am EXTREMELY sympathetic to contractors that won’t get back pay, especially to the lower-wage workers.

    We went back last Wednesday. This plus furlough = High cranky factor.

    Boy - English muffin pizzas. Don’t feel like arguing. Girl - Thai food w us. From where should we order in Falls Church? We usually do Sweet Rice. It’s fine....

    Exactly. This bus runs until late and is free. http://www.swneighborhoodshuttle.ridesystems.net/

    There is a shuttle bus from lenfant and it’s generally easy to park there.

    I parked at the Lenfant Metro and took the SW Shuttle Bus to the Wharf last night. Strong recommend.

    I’m not a coffee maven per se but I will give a shout-out to Cafe Kindred in Falls Church for both their drip and fancy espresso drinks from Vigilante. It’s also a great place to hang out, but I’m not supposed to mention that here.

    I’ve had a nice latte and scone there a couple times while getting my car serviced. It’s a cool space and I had a nice chat with the developer before they were anywhere close to fully opened. I suggested he check out The Block in Annandale as they are relatively similarly sized. There is much less interior seating though at the place in Howard. So, if it’s cold and you can’t sit outside, it’s going to be crazy crowded.

    I actually Googled it and probably not. #FakeNews but still a good story.

    Extremely predictable thing happens. Einstein, definition of insanity, etc.

    Didn’t see Grouper Tuesday on the menu anymore but they do have daily specials.

    Hmmmm.... No posts in eight years.... Clare and Don’s does what it does very well. The fish is always fresh, the fries are always crisp, and it’s a very good burger. This isn’t fine dining but it’s a great family place with good food and very reasonable prices, and the owners are *very* generous to the Falls Church community.

    Liz is one of the finest humans on earth and was truly a pioneer in Del Ray. She will be missed. And, fortunately, the custard hasn’t missed a beat.

    Just got back. Want to give a shout out to the Sandholdt coffee shop. It’s lovely and the $25ish lasagna for two was an enormous amount of high quality (and weirdly inexpensive) food for dinner. (Skip the Blue Lagoon - go to the municipal pool instead.) (Canopy Hilton - great!)

    Probably time to update their new location in the former Long John’s Silver across from the Giant on 7. They had to move due to some lease shenanigans in the previous location. The new place is great - table service if you want it. Same good sandwiches, friendly people, fair prices.

    Giving a shout-out to the dangerously awesome Totchos at Spacebar in Falls Church. They are cheese covered tater tots and you can add any toppings from the sandwich menu. Bacon is the bomb. Cardiac paddles may be needed due to the fat content - but it's an ok way to go out.

    They = North Korea. And, they do appear to have the ability to create significant trouble in South Korea/Japan today. I think it's going to take diplomacy to fix this, and that's really a scary thought.

    Doesn't this depend on the big unknown question - are they rational actors or not?

    Roast beef and Brie sandwich, hot.
