Any good bakeries in Howard County that make a great baguette or good sourdough based loaf? Not grocery store bakeries, but a real, stand-alone maker of breads.

Looking for someone to give me a fair assessment regarding replacing my 20+ yr old forced air gas furnace/AC. I am really interested in either a cold climate heat pump or heat pump and auxiliary gas furnace dual system unless the cost is just so prohibitive that it makes more sense to just get the most efficient gas/standard AC system. I'm pretty frustrated with my current HVAC maintenance company, GAC Services, so someone other than them.

Tried to ask this question in another nails subreddit and had my post removed because apparently you can only ask questions on Sundays.

Male, 50s, looking to get a manicure to improve the looks of my nails. Some of my nails (especially both thumbs) have some ridges and divots. They also are a bit soft. I'd like to have smooth semi-translucent pinkish nails as the end result. Sort of naturalish but better. I hope to eventually have slightly longer than current nails, oval shaped If i go to a salon, what should i ask for to accomplish this? I don't think just polish would handle the lumps, ridges and dents, right? Do i need acrylics or something like that? Thanks for patience with my ignorance; i'm new to this.

I bought a 21 inch 60v Greenworks mower in the fall of 2019. It came with a 4 Ah "ultrapower PRO" battery and charger. In 2020, afrer realizing that i was needing 3 charges just to cut my .2 acre back yard, i purchased a second battery from Greenworks' website, a 60v GreenworksPro Max 5.0HC battery.

This year, every time i've used the mower, i get about 25 minutes out of the 4Ah battery. When it switches over, i get about 15 minutes from the second battery. Although it shows 2 bars of charge left, it cuts out every 10-20 secs after that as if the battery has drained. But it shows 2 bars left both in the mower and charger.

I've tried swaping out the batteries' placement (left and right). I've pulled and reloaded the bad battery; it runs for a minute or two then cuts off again.

Should i accept the battery has gone bad, and just buy a new one? If so, which 60v battery currently marketed will have the best capacity to run for 30+ minutes under a not terribly difficult load (my grass never gets very high before i cut it, and i never cut wet grass)?

I have an early flight (8:40) Saturday morning. Had planned to take the first Green Line metro train out, from Central station, but discovered that the first train on Saturdays leaves Central station at 6:20, not 5:50 as it does weekdays. So it wouldn't get me there in the 2 hours before boarding window i need for an international flight. In looking at Uber, they're wanting 50 pounds for that 7 mile trip!

Anyone know other, more reasonably priced but reliable options at that hour?

I have a real hankering for some haggis. Any restaurants or pubs in town that serve it?
