What the Helen of Troy is This
“Dear PoPville,
I saw bright lights appear in the sky down 14th street, and I was wondering if anyone knows what they were. They moved around and looked like they were flashing, and they definitely did not seem like planes. Did anyone else see these around 7:40 pm? In case it helps, a video is attached! (The second light appears halfway through.)”

Thanks to Nicole for sending yesterday: “y’all seen these alpacas wandering the streets of Columbia Heights?!”
Our last sighting of these beauties was January 31st, in the snow.
Frank Lucas : “Ey, ey, ey, ey! Don’t rub on that. You Blot that! Ya understand? That’s Alpaca. That’s $25,000 Alpaca! You blot that shit! You don’t rub it, put the club soda on there.”

About all that cannon practice we’ve been hearing every Tuesday. Here’s some great photos from the 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard):
“Soldiers of the Presidential Salute Battery, 1st Battalion, 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) conducted blank fire crew drills as part of their routine training on Joint Base Myer – Henderson Hall. (more…)

Thanks to Michele for sharing another great find from the C&O Canal over the weekend: “A BEAVER IN THE CANAL. IN GEORGETOWN. OK THIS MIGHT BE A MUSKRAT BUT IT IS FOR SURE A R.O.U.S.” (more…)
Lex sends from Petworth: “On the corner of 8th & shepherd next to a police sub-precinct” (more…)
Last night around 1am a few folks started asking “Am I the only one who had their entire building shake like an earthquake? (13th and Clifton)”
“I live here too. Yea, it kinda scared me and my gf. Whole building shook.”
Daniel replies: “Huge tree fell in the Clifton Terrace/Wardman courtyard. Assume that was what you heard/felt.”

Meghan and Allison let’s us know: “Heard a lot of big booms this morning…is it cannon practice day at Arlington National Cemetery?”
“Yes, @PoPville, we know. Cannons, Arlington, practice, etc.”
And last night readers reported starting around 9:45pm: “FYI, there was just an explosion somewhere around Delafield and Georgia. No idea what it was, but I heard/felt it at 13th and Delafield”
“Wtf is happening in Petworth/16th St Heights??? Copters, sirens, loud bang.”
“Dear PoPville,
Do you have any idea what these floating chandeliers are? One popped in the alley behind or building in Adams Morgan (same alley with Ratzilla). I have seen them around before, but was wondering if they are some art installation?”
Ed. Note: From time to time chandeliers appear randomly floating around town.

“Dear PoPville,
Spotted in Palisades, overlooking the Capital Crescent Trail and Canal Road. Thought it was a birdhouse at first, but on closer inspection it doesn’t seem to be. It has a CIA sticker on it, but given that it also has DC flag and Biden Harris stickers, I’m guessing it’s not spy-related. (OR IS IT?)”
Ed. Note: I’m 97% sure this is a bat house. Update: 47% sure.
