Thanks to Meghan for sending on Sunday: “Looks like someone shattered the front door at So’s your mom. Remarkably, and a testament to their industriousness, they fixed it already.”

I’m gonna take this as a good opportunity to remind you that So’s Your Mom is the best.

“Dear PoPville,

Sunday morning around 10:30 Am I was riding an ebike at 14th and U St, NW and I crashed.

It probably did not appear that bad but with my 3 metal joints I was laying on the ground in severe pain. A nice man walked over picked up the e bike for me and asked if I was OK. I was so embarrassed that I got up and said thank you and told him I was fine when I really just wanted to lay there. Lol

He could have went about his day like everybody else but it’s good to be reminded that there are sweet people in this world. And I just wanted to express my gratitude in that moment.“
