Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.

What do you think of wine tastings? I have a friend who lives and works at Twinbrook winery.
If wine isn't your thing - there is the dogfishead brewery tour in Milton (limited to 25 people, so I'd call ahead).
There is a historic Lancaster walking tour.
If she likes trains, I do believe there is an autumn express...departing Saturday at 12:30 and 2pm - an hour and a half, but quaint.
Or go all out ($$$) and stay at the Inn at Monchanin and have brunch Sunday at Krazy Kats.
