I think I may have asked this in the past but I can’t remember. So, do you prefer white Christmas lights, colorful Christmas lights, or one solid color, like blue, Christmas lights?
Ed note: My camera, for some odd reason, probably because it was free, only works at night on odd days of the week, so if you have some Christmas lights you’d like featured, shoot me an email at princeofpetworth at gmail dot com. Safe travels to those on the road!
Yes as a matter of fact, I did feel very weird taking this picture but I knew I’d forget the thought if I didn’t. At any rate, I can’t stand these automatic towel dispensers. By the time you get the sensor to work all the water has run down your arm and it is kind of moot at that point. Plus you look like a lunatic waving your hand in front of it trying to get it to register. Am I wrong? I mean how lazy are we any way? Is this a conservation or sanitation thing, what’s the purpose?
Wouldn’t solid glass look nicer? What is the benefit of having them all divided up like this? I still dig the house though…
13th Street south of Florida constantly is giving stuff away, mattresses, Yanni dvds, and just plain old boxes full of stuff. I actually just wanted the box but I felt bad about dumping all the goods on the sidewalk so I didn’t end up taking it, sigh.
“Maggie comes fleet foot
Face full of black soot
Talkin’ that the heat put
Plants in the bed but
The phone’s tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early May
Orders from the D. A.
Look out kid
Don’t matter what you did
Walk on your tip toes
Don’t try “No Doz”
Better stay away from those
That carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose
Watch the plain clothes
You don’t need a weather man
To know which way the wind blows”
I stumbled upon 12th Place, NW which is one of those hidden little blocks around town. I felt like it could’ve been on a movie set. I’m aware there were no porches but it had a really nice, peaceful feel to it. Do you know of any hidden streets like this?
My steps are decrepit. The are very boring concrete with dozens of cracks. So how would you fix them? I like this example of slate and stone. But I also like red brick. What do you think are the best enhancements to steps?
Beautiful. And I bet it has an awesome vestibule. I still want some photos of vestibules so take one and send it to me or invite me over and I’ll take the photo, I promise I don’t bite…
The question was posed on the forum so vote!
I’m walking home the other day and there is guy who is just blitzed out of his mind and this is about 4 in the afternoon and as I see him weaving back and forth he stops and tries to take a leak right on the sidewalk. Well he falls down and is lying face first on some grass and takes a leak. Other times I’ve walked around and seen folks drinking beers in groups who become very loud and sometimes violent. Let me contrast this with another night I was walking home where I passed two guys smoking a joint. They were happy and friendly and did not produce 16 empty beer cans/bottles in their wake. So it occurred to me, we really ought to legalize marijuana. Now granted I’ve mostly seen its use with the Grateful Dead crowd, but I’ve never seen anyone violent who just smoked some weed. Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not advocating drug use here. I’m not saying its use should be mandatory. But if there are those above a certain age, they should be permitted. And I think the streets of DC is a perfect place for legalization. Think of the taxes that the city could earn and hell, it might even put a dent in some of the illegal drug dealing on our corners. Additionally, when you smoke a joint that is it, it is gone, no refuse to worry about, no violence, no folks pissing on the sidewalks. So why don’t we legalize it? Is it that much worse than drinking alcohol?
