Over on Bluesky, I’m nealaugenstein.bsky.social Hope to see you there, too!

Here’s what to expect if you’re driving northbound on 395, as you pass Maine Avenue. The right lane remains closed beneath the seventh street overpass, after a piece of concrete fell yesterday. Stay with @WTOP

Right lane still blocked on NB 395, after piece of concrete fell from 7th St SW overpass yesterday. Stay w @WTOP traffic.

See where Buc-ee’s is planned for construction in Stafford County after key approval. wtop.com/stafford-count…

Couldn’t figure out why there was an empty box of Rice-A-Roni after my teen’s sleepover — turns out they made a hacky sack.

Joel has been the leader @WTOP since I arrived. His leadership and success are well-known in the tough world of radio and digital news. He's always supported the newsroom as we continue to redefine ourselves. Still wrapping my head around this. What a ride, and what a great guy.

OK, maybe AI needs some work.

As a 'honey do' home handyman I love finding the perfect tool for the job. This screw extractor is awesome! I hope I remember I own it if I ever come upon another rusted screw.

@JasonMiyaresVA Fewer lobsters. I know it’s a bit silly to point out spelling or grammar errors.

Sometimes it’s tough to figure out what to order but tonight wasn’t that night. Only one appropriate meal in honor of today’s victory for Virginia voters … two less lobsters in Va tonight. #NoLobsterDistricts

What's great long ago is great again (and always). 1978 gem "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" by The Rubinoos is the lead track for Banda AL9's new album. youtu.be/1_wXmPLZiOc?si… via @YouTube

@HappyApathetic @VApoliticalmeme @WTOP Not after going through Secret Service screening they weren't.

@AugensteinWTOP @VApoliticalmeme @WTOP Do you think he’s aware of how many Virginians in that crowd were carrying handguns?

King Charles hand waving during parade down Front Royal's Main Street @wtop

@Fantine21 @WTOP I'm doing better than X :)

@AugensteinWTOP @WTOP I don’t see you a lot on X these days, Neal, how are you feeling?

Ladies in fancy hats have a great view of Main Street from Vinicola Wine Bar in Front Royal.

Waiting for the King and Queen, here on Main Street in Front Royal, Va. @wtop

@MarcSettle @WTOP Should I drop your name?

@AugensteinWTOP @WTOP Say hi to Charles from me. We go way back.

Dressed for the British Royals visit in Front Royal. Line to security screening area stretching a quarter mile. @WTOP

@bryandwvu They're visiting Shenandoah. Don't think there's a historical link to Front Royal

@AugensteinWTOP Neal, is there a correlation to Front Royal and the Royal family? No disrespect to Front Royal, it seems like an odd place for a parade with them.

Lotta people excited to see King Charles and Queen Camilla, here in Front Royal. Security screening opens in 20 minutes for parade down Main Street, which is secured by local, state, amd federal agencies

I don't think it's the real one, here in line for the Front Royal parade
