“Dear PoPville,

I saw a dude (not a cop) riding a horse on H and 12th NE last night.”

col. also caught them in action in Shaw: “anyone know why there are horses galloping through 7th & RI NW?” (more…)


Ed. Note: This was not just a selfie stop, I saw her walking all the way down the block with the bag securely on her head – it was really quite impressive!!

At any rate – caption contest time – go!
