Bump?
 

What does `bump` mean?

just typing a word so the thread will be current, a "new post".

From TOTV site guidelines:
Bumping of Threads:

The practice of making a post with the intent of bringing it back to the first page is referred to as "Bumping" of posts and this practice is not allowed on TOTV. ONLY in the classified section is this allowed one (1) time during the posting duration or with a price change

BUMP = Bring Up My Post

The Early Days
 

I see you live in Burke. I lived there, on Outhaul Lane, in the early 1980s.

Every day as I drove to work in Washington I saw more houses and apartments being built along Pohick Road, which was my "back way" to the Interstate. I said to myself that I needed to get out of there before all that real estate was occupied.

The last time I was up there it took me longer to drive from Burke to the Interstate on Old Keene Mill Road than it used to take me to drive from Burke to DC.

When I returned to Florida I left my snow shovel and snow tires behind.
