I dare say this was the longest I’ve ever stared at a garage door.

This is the side of the house from a garden of the day I featured last week. Personally, I think the bright color is right on.

They have the greatest selection of animal photos/drawings in the tri-state area, you know.

I have a vague recollection that I may have picked this one before but hell if I can barely I’m guessing you guys can’t either… And this is well worth a double posting if that is the case. Simply awesome.

A quiet dignity.

Well, PoP…I’ve been meaning to send you some thoughts on the
Drive-by Truckers two-night stand at the 9:30 Club last weekend, but
the week got crazy on me and flew by before I had a chance to throw
some brain drizzle down in an email. And now, almost a week removed I
figured what the hell…I still got their songs running through my
head…and so, why not, the hangover lasted 3 days.
A two-night Truckers stand is a dangerous thing…particularly for
guys our age and with our mileage! And we proved that in full on
Saturday night…investigating the very inner workings of “whiskey
bent” in a certain reckless, degenerate way befitting the music. My
ears rang for two days and I was feeling rough well into Tuesday.
Getting old ain’t much fun.
But fun is really the best way to describe a Truckers’ show at 9:30.
They remain the only band out today that I find myself yelling out the
words to every song at the top of my lungs until my voice gives out.
There is an original energy in those shows that is hard to describe
but damn fun to partake. Wailing guitars are part of it…drunken,
screaming and fired up fans certainly help…and the music is just so
damn good. I still think that their lyrics are the most original,
evocative you’ll find today. I swear I know some of the people in
those songs and if forced to admit it, I’d probably have to see some
parallels in a few instances of my own degenerate behavior once upon a
time. Review continues after the jump. (more…)

Unfortunately there will be no Results Gym at this location.

Recommend an Internet Service Provider.
Recommend someone to rehab a vestibule. Nice. I’m looking forward to seeing the photos after the rehab!

I was overjoyed back in April when I wrote about Family Foods Market removing their security partition. I nearly cried when I walked in on Friday and saw the security partition had returned. I spoke with one of the cashiers and she couldn’t exactly explain why the partition returned. She said something about the customers telling her that it should return but I find that very hard to believe. She did mention that there are some kids that throw things and such when they get angry which is very unsettling. But I’m so sad that they didn’t feel safe enough to keep the partition removed. I’m sure if I had to walk a mile in their shoes I’d feel differently. I’m just saying that was like a super tease, removing it for a month and then putting it back up. Damn!

Ed. note: Julian’s snap-shots series will resume after a quick two week hiatus. In the meantime, below find a great piece written by Julian contrasting San Fransisco (his hometown) to DC. For those who are not native Washingtonians do you ever reflect upon the home towns/cities you’ve left behind?
