I was thinking of the AARP crowd, but, yeah Barry works, too.
I swear I saw him driving, talking on a cellphone, and eating a baby. And baby stains are impossible to get off a daishiki. Don't ask me how I know. I just do.

I wonder if DDOT does build the Anacostia streetcar, how long will it be before one side-swipes Barry's car?
