Thanks to Amber for sharing: “lots of flooding in Rock Creek… avoid for now.”

Not in Rock Creek but AlertDC warns:

“DDOT reports high standing water in the westbound lanes of the 800-900 blocks of Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, between 7th and 9th Streets. Only the left lane is passable. Please take caution and use alternate routes.”


Thanks to Rachel for sending: “I took this (slightly out of focus) shot of a hawk with what I think is a small possum. He’s sitting on the top of a house in Brightwood.”

Small possum or giant rat?

If you spot a hawk, any interesting wildlife or celebrity skateboarder Tony Hawk, and get a good photo please send in an email where you spotted them to [email protected]. Thanks! Hawks around Town is made possible by a generous grant from the Ben and Sylvia Gardner foundation.

Thanks to Jeff for sending: “Rare U.S. spec BMW 2000, predecessor to the 5 series. This car in other parts of the world deviated from BMW’s tradition of round headlights, opting for rectangular ones instead. U.S. regulations resulted in the U.S. spec car having twin round headlights.”
