“Dear PoPville,
Last night [Petworth. It got in there sometime between 5:15 and when I got home at 9.] I got home from a massage, started running a hot bath with epsom salts for soaking, and went to use the toilet when I opened the lid and saw a rat in my toilet bowl.
It looked alive and sitting at or just under water level, but I shut the lid really fast and did my best to not scream bloody murder. If I were less disgusted by this, I would’ve snapped a photo for you, but you’ll just have to take my word for it. Good thing I always keep the toilet lid closed!
The earliest plumbing appointment I could get is between 11 and 2. One of my neighbors wonders whether I should call an exterminator instead, especially if the plumber is just gonna say, “call an exterminator.”
We’re assuming yesterday’s rain swept vermin into various sewage systems, but our building has definitely seen more rain, so why yesterday of all days? Maybe rats want to get out of the cold, too.”
Ed. Note: We’ve, sadly, definitely spoken about this in the past. I can’t find all the old posts but it has happened in many different neighborhoods.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
