Snowpocalypse

By nacho Posted on February 10, 2010 Posted in The District Tagged with silver spring, snowstorm

Thanks to the so-called snowpocalypse, I’ve had a six day weekend and counting as the snow continues to fall.  Outside my window right now, we’re at whiteout conditions.  Public transportation is shut down, and the only way to survive is …

Our Little Deaths

By nacho Posted on October 15, 2009 Posted in Meanwhile, in Silver Spring..., Rants Tagged with accidents, pain, PTSD, silver spring, TN

I’ve been commuting to downtown DC for over a decade now, and combining about ten miles of walking with the commute as part of my “passive health plan.” Statistically speaking, I suppose it’s inevitable that I would get hit by …

Moving Day

By nacho Posted on August 11, 2009 Posted in Rants Tagged with moving, nostalgia, silver spring

I’ve finally finished yet another last-minute, poorly-planned move.  People laugh at me because I’ve only moved five times in my life.  I have no idea how the human soul can handle moving more than a dozen times, though.  Each move …

Tuesdays with Jesus

By nacho Posted on November 4, 2008 Posted in Rants Tagged with grandfather, oscar bin laden, silver spring, west virginia

The text message from my grandfather instructed me to come to room 412 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Silver Spring at 6am, which didn’t make much sense as he was supposed to be in Parkersburg, West Virginia.  Though, it …

Turf War

Well, they’re tearing up the “turf” that covers downtown Silver Spring’s ridiculous greenspace.  Read all about it at Silver Spring Singular.

Silver Spring Shooting

By nacho Posted on June 30, 2008 Posted in Meanwhile, in Silver Spring... Tagged with silver spring

I’ve long subscribed to the theory that nothing bad can happen to you in the early morning hours on a holiday or weekend.  And I’ve put that theory to the test when traveling, when exploring urban ruins, when dumpster diving, …

Train Town

By nacho Posted on June 11, 2008 Posted in Meanwhile, in Silver Spring..., Rants Tagged with nostalgia, silver spring

Red Line, Shady Grove.  An empty train waiting for me at the Silver Spring stop, the morning commute already hot and sweaty.  On my way into Union Station, I take a seat on the sun-side so I can watch an …
