That was a great (for me) run! Thanks and good luck the rest of the way.

I'm in. Family obligations on the 31st, but I could do Friday 12 or 4. If I were to curate a route for you, we'd go from Amelia St School, down colorado, through the cemetery, n bank trail to nickel bridge, around byrd park lake.

On the other hand, if you love cable stayed bridges high over the river....go on I 295 over the Varina Enon Bridge.

when you go to the richmond parcel search, go to the image tab and click next...next...next. you may find an old photograph clipped to the old tax record

Also, look at the sanborn Fire insurance maps. This may give you a sense of what was around at the time of construction.

to your wife:

1. bem fieto! I think that raising a kid on the spectrum to be an independent young adult is an accomplishment you should feel proud about.

2. don't worry about acad refreshing too much. If that's what a firm uses, it'll take a couple weeks to be back up to speed. However, REVIT is pretty common, especially at big firms, so sign up for a course at JSarg for the spring. It's a different way of thinking than acad, getting a grounding would help when the question comes up.

3. Don't spam all the architects on google with a resume. Look for which firms you'd be a good fit with and contact them. Big firm? Small firm? Type of work? Need flexibility? All these things are very important, in my opinion.

4. If your practice was in Brazil, then the steepest learning curve will be the building code, so just acknowledge that it will take a year before you're feeling up to speed and beginning to remember egress requirements and UL wall assemblies.

5. DMed you

That's a reasonable way to think of it, and I'd think of them as a luxury item if they were the quality of an ess-a-bagel bagel.

It's amazing to me that Chewy's bagels are more expensive than Essa-a-bagel on W 32nd street in New York City. It's an odd LCOL city item flipped on its head.

When you arrive, check out the circular area of couches at the intersection of concourse A and B....the area just outside security. I think that this is your best bet to hang out for a couple hours. Security opens at 4 a.m.
