A month after 5" of snow and 2-3" of sleet fell, and DC still has plenty to go around. Though I guess the Capitol Beautification Committee realized that a mountain of dirty snow would still be an improvement over the current majority, so that's a plus.

This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis. He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden. (After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)

Sigh. I sit down to eat lunch in the Potbelly right off Pennsylvania Ave (yay, jury duty) and this photo is over my table. So I can spend lunch ruminating on the now-destroyed colonnade. At least the food is good.

Was very confused this morning walking my dog around my DC neighborhood when I saw a family of tourists — mom, dad, two kids — and they didn’t look terrified. Then again, my dog seemed pretty calm too.

TIL that tourists in DC's monumental core wearing stupid red hats don't like it when the word "moron" is called out near them. That's okay. The leopards will get their faces eventually.
