From a press release:
“Introducing SoberWoman!
Anti-DUI Superheroine Hits Dupont Circle’s Happy Hour Scene to Stop Drunk Driving Before It Starts
WHAT: SoberWoman, the finest anti-drunk driving crime-fighter ever to wear tights, will be deployed tomorrow night to stop drunk driving before it starts. Created by the anti-drunk driving campaign Checkpoint Strikeforce to educate the public, SoberWoman will be joined in her mission by DC’s Metropolitan Police Department.
SoberWoman will engage the partying masses at four Dupont Circle bars where she’ll quiz them on their plans to get home after drinking. The raven-haired superheroine will award prizes to those who demonstrate they’ve made advance plans to get home safely. She’ll also warn “the plan-less” that police are stepping up their efforts to catch and arrest drunk drivers. SoberWoman will pose for pictures and encourage bar-goers to share photos and her mission via social media, using hashtag #SoberWoman. SoberWoman’s future missions later this month will take her to other bar districts in the greater Washington, D.C. region.
A recent poll showed that nearly one-third of 21-to-35-year-old males do not make advance plans to avoid drinking and driving BEFORE they go out. With the holiday season now heating up, now is the time for stepped up vigilance against drunk driving.
WHO: SoberWoman, Anti-Drunk Driving Superhero

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
