I photographed the outstanding grafitti on the building at 14 and T which is sadly no longer there.
I spotted a bad ass porch feature.
I wondered if two porch lamps was excessive.

You can find an updated list of Inauguration Options here. Don’t forget to dress warm and take some photos for the PoP Inauguration Photo Contest.

The following comment from yesterday’s Dear Pop post really cracked me up. From Nita:
“Dear DC Government – thank you for your property tax bill. Once I have reviewed the bill, I issue a check in accordance with the figure as posted. The problem is that with budget cutbacks, the checkbook division does not currently have any dollars. I cannot tell you how long it will take for this problem to be remedied; but until then, I cannot pay any bills. I can review the bill, but that is all I can do for now.”
Thanks to all who wrote about the small feature of me in this week’s issue of the Current Newspapers. The correspondent was far too kind. Sadly, the current on line only has PDF versions of their archives. For those that are interested you can read the article in PDF by clicking on the link below:

If you’re looking for last minute options you can check some options I posted earlier in the week. I hope everyone has a happy and safe celebration.
So speaking of – if you’ve drank too much please don’t drive. From an email:
“The holiday season is a time of celebration and revelry. Drinking and driving is a danger to everyone on the road. Anyone with a BAC of .08 or higher is in violation of DC law and may go to jail. Remember that the risk isn’t worth it–if you choose to drink alcohol at a party, don’t drive. Take a cab, use public transportation or a designated driver, or call SoberRide® (800-200-TAXI), a free cab service in DC and the surrounding area active from the middle of December through January 1. Have fun, but remember to celebrate responsibly.”
Catch y’all on Friday. I look forward to hearing some good stories in Friday’s Rant or Revel!
If you need some diversion this rainy afternoon check out PoP and Silver Spring Penguin on Raw Fisher Radio here.
I’d be curious to learn what features folks like most about PoP. Since I have a bit more time now I’d like to expand coverage a bit. If I left out something you’d like to see covered please put a suggestion in the comments section. Thanks.
You may notice that I have a new ad up after my second post. These ads have enabled me to take a baby step towards full time blogging. I am happy to announce that this week starts my semi-pro career as a blogger. I am switching to 4 days a week for my day job and am taking a corresponding pay cut (though I do get to keep my benefits). I do hope to take PoP full time in a year or so but I thought I’d dip my toe in the waters first. Anyway, now I’ll have a bit more time to do some interviews with folks that I’ve been having trouble getting in touch with during weekend and evening hours. If there are any other features you’d like to see be sure to let me know. I have a few ideas in mind but I’d love to get some suggestions from you guys as well. As always your tips, emails and comments are invaluable to me.
On a side note I’ll be in and out of email touch this week so I apologize in advance if it takes me a little while for me to return your emails.
