“Dear PoPville,

Last Friday my better half embarked on her usual hike through Rock Creek Park that begins off of 17th near Bancroft elementary school. Just as she was getting on the trail headed into the park, she tripped and hit her head on a rock. She was speed walking, fell pretty hard and was dazed. She got up and started to come back to our place when she passed out on 17th Street, fell again, and broke her nose. She had tried to call me but, hadn’t told me where she was. (more…)
