Holy hell – thanks to Dominic for sending this “E-scooter sailing down the middle of Rock Creek Parkway during rush hour last week.”
“Dear PoPville,
I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else and if we can do anything about it. My husband bought tickets to (potential) Game 5 of the World Series during the presale on Thursday, received confirmation of the sale, charged the credit card, and then Friday they canceled our tickets without explanation. My husband and I have been calling and, no reason is being given.
Update! My husband spoke to customer service again and gave a long-winded explanation of what happened. This rep said that apparently we were swept up in some anti-hacking measures.

“Dear PoPville,
I walked out my front door at 815 this morning and found this guy standing in my yard. It’s a 7 point buck!!!

From an email:
“To kick off celebration of the 200th anniversary of the U.S. Botanic Garden’s (USBG) original 1820 charter, the Garden is collaborating with renowned stickwork artist Patrick Dougherty to create a custom sculpture to stand throughout the 2020 celebratory year.
Dougherty, who hails from North Carolina, is known around the world for his installations woven from plant materials, which celebrate nature through both materials and visually flowing lines. Over 30 years, he has built more than 250 stickwork sculptures, from Scotland to Japan to all over the United States. D.C.-area residents might remember his gallery-filling installation in the popular “Wonder” exhibit at the reopening of Renwick Gallery. (more…)

Seriously. There’s gotta be an OJ chase caliber event times 1000 (God forbid) to change my mind. Seriously.

Even though the first two games will be played at Minute Maid Park in Houston, everyone in the DMV is invited to come out to a watch party at Nationals Park on both nights! (more…)
