It is official, Columbia Heights coffee has the best tasting coffee within walking distance of Petworth. Not a bad place to sit outside and drink it either.

On Sat. for some reason the So Be iced tea bus was parked on Illinois Ave. I didn’t see any people but it seemed like it was worth a mention.
Well, it was a beautiful weekend in Petworth for gardening. I planted a vegetable garden as well as flowers and plants. I was at it as were many others that I saw around the neighborhood. So I actually, have learned three tips. 1: Mulch is the greatest thing in the world, it instantly makes your garden/yard look great and it’s cheap as hell. 2: Blood meal. What the hell is that? Well, apparently it keeps the squirrels away and that is good enough explanation for me. You can find it at Home Depot or any gardening store. 3: invite friends over to help, it is fun and if you don’t know what you are doing, like me, you can learn a lot. So I guess I really shouldn’t be giving tips out. Do you guys have any?
Raw Fisher, which I love, has a new feature called “The Random Friday Question”. Am I stepping out of bounds in saying that is quite a coincidence? Check it out here.

What the heck happened at Grant Circle last night? I can report a big bang, a copter, lots of yelling and sirens etc.?

As many in the neighborhood know, as soon as it warms up these damn mini bikes come out and terrorize the neighborhood. They zip up and down the block often going the wrong way on one way streets. I’m not looking forward to it.
But damn, this is the sweetest mini bike I’ve ever seen. Makes me want to take it for a ride…

Now I support schools for sure. I even support Public Charter Schools. But just when the election ends and all the yard signs are supposed to be taken down it looks like a new set of signs is sprouting in the neighborhood. I hope this doesn’t become a trend. Incidentally, I’m looking to sell my unwanted vehicle does anyone know where I can get cash for it?
Apparently, President Bush gave a speech in Petworth today about immigration. I’m not sure how I feel about that. Anyone see the motorcade?

Some graffiti just north of the Petworth metro.
Last night was warm and since I am of the old school I don’t have central air. Therefore, I keep the window open which is usually pretty good since these houses have good air flow. Anyway, this is a preface to say that I swear a helicopter almost hit my house last night. I’m exagerating. But I am very familiar with the slow police search choppers and the medvac choppers but this was something else. It felt so close I thought my roof was going to rip off. Anyone else experience some crazy helicopter last night? Then if the night couldn’t get any wierder I swear I heard a train blowing its whistle multiple times. Is there a train even near Petworth? I have been hit in the head a lot and I did have a few beers so maybe I just had a bizarre dream…
