In addition to driving poorly…
Thanks to David for sending last night: “I guess if you are an armored vehicle you can pretty much park wherever the heck you want. On Massachusetts Avenue eastbound at 10th NW during rush hour today around 5:15 pm in the turning lane. I guess the wedge under the wheel is there so if someone hits it it does not skid forward too far? Oh, that is right it weighs five tons…”

“Dear PoPville,
One might think this was just a run-of-the-mill discarded-in-June Christmas tree.
However, because the discarder is my neighbor, I know that this Christmas tree had previously been sitting in the neighbor’s fenced back patio not since Christmas 2019, but since Christmas 2018.”
Last Christmas Tree in Town is brought to you by the Friends of the White Whale Society!

Ruth reports: “Stabbing around 8am today near the corner of 8th and P Streets NW in Shaw.”
Shane reports: “It looks like it was actually at the SW corner of 7th and Q NW, that’s where CSI is currently swabbing blood. When I walked by an arrest was being made at 8th and P NW.”
To celebrate DC native Haili Blassingame’s debut novel, THEY ALL FALL IN LOVE AT THE END, Lost City Books is throwing a launch party themed around messy love stories. Haili, and a crew of writers she has assembled, will read excerpts from their work, but there will also be audience participation in the form of anonymously submitting messy dating stories. It’s going to be a night of laughter, of gasps, of books, of great company. Refreshments will be available. We can’t wait to see you there!
