New slug

I think that some people apparently just like to see their own words in print. It's incredible that one person can have over 100 posts and only have been a member for a month. There must not be enough work to go around somewhere...

You will no doubt tell me I'm wrong, but I think your posts often come across as trying to pass opinions off as truths, although I'd say your posts seem try to pass them off as "facts" instead of as "truths." (Don't bother repeating the point about the length of the ramp for a seventh time--that is a fact, but it's also a proverbial red herring.) Kortegel didn't post anything "untrue." Neither, to my knowledge, have you.

(just trying to calm everybody down here....)

The Route 630 lot is a new slug-line and we don't need people passing their opinions off as facts and labeling something a "death-trap" just because that particular person has problems merging. The people who are working hard to get the 630 lot off the ground don't need that. If kortegel has a problem merging there, even though the merge lane is longer than most, he/she should just say "I have difficulty merging there" and not use such offensive language as "death trap". The people who are successfully slugging from 630 are going to continue to stand up for themselves. Especially when the person making the comment doesn't live off of Route 630 and doesn't slug from there either, they are hardly an expert on the subject. Shelbybrynn however has said that she has lived off of Route 630 for 25 years now and she said she never has had problems merging there!!

I slug from Rt. 3 every morning and know there are people headed into DC but usually take rides to the Pentagon.
If you drive pull up and announce your destination. Taking people home at night to 610 might work well for you though since nobody has organized a different PM place to catch to Rt. 3.

That is what sluggin is all about, the ease of picking up and dropping off at different locations and times.[:D]

I'll be going to the Federal Triangle area - our office will be on 15th St., NW, between F and G Streets. Assuming I'd be returning from a 14th St. slug line. Can anyone tell me if the Rt. 3 line would work for me, or would I be better off starting from Rt. 17 or even 610? Would I have any difficulty getting from 14th St. back to Rt. 3? If so, are there other reasonable options for getting home?

Thank you!
