I am a bit worried about the MARC running ok with the high heat over the next couple of days. Do any long-time MARCers try to take alternative routes on days of high heat, or do you just chance it? I am debating driving (normally would hate this), or at least driving to the nearest metro station. I feel like even when the metro is not working right, it's not nearly as catastrophic to my commute as when MARC is not working (i.e. stranding me at Union station or elsewhere). I'm curious what others are thinking this week.

Is there an optimum age for doing daycare/pre-school full time? For context: my toddler (2 years) currently goes to daycare 3 days a week and spends the other two days with his grandparents. His grandparents are willing to keep this up as long as we need it (and since it saves money, selfishly I'm happy to keep part time going!) but I'm wondering if there is an age where the benefits of going to school and being among peers 5 days a week would outweigh the benefits we are getting now from the part-time arrangement? Current benefits are savings and bonding time with grandparents, of course. He will go to public school for kindergarten so I'm asking specifically about the ages between 2-4, I guess.
