Dacha brunch and Arboretum dog walk. Fully embraced the tropical weather

Bub and Pops was giving away free loaves of bread yesterday 🍞

We’ve heard now from several reliable sources that federal agencies may remove a substantial chunk of the 15th St NW protected bike lanes near the National Mall in February, possibly as early as next week.

6% of my commute is spent waiting to cross NY Ave

DCPS called to tell me my student had an unexcused absence when they were on a school field trip, so forgive me if I don’t believe the attendance crisis reporting

When you live in the same city for 21 years, you can remember the pedestrian who was killed at each intersection you cross on the way to work

Classic

Good sign: DPW picking up trash at bus stops on H St. Maybe we can hope for residential next week

Still impassable btw

Some of the bike infrastructure on NJ did not survive the snow plow ☹️

@ddotdc.bsky.social the intersection of NY Ave and N Cap is even more dangerous than usual for pedestrians when the sidewalks are unusable Gotta fix this before Dunbar students can go back to school on metro

I impulse bought a chuck roast

Noma does not get up early. HT empty. I win

Matt, Joel. Let's set up lunch with Adnan Khashoggi

I know it’s not true that no federal agency has used a qualifying exam in 43 years because I literally took one in 2005. My score on an economics exam got me 5 interviews with surveys at BLS. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...

There’s a new rabbit in our alley. The kids named it Toasty

DGS has been blaming the backlog for this kind of neglect for years. How can we finally do better @cmlewisgeorgew4.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

Not all of us want to run on 17th in a Christmas sweater in this weather. If that isn’t for you, consider joining me at the blood donation center at 8 am instead. You will feel almost as smug

Healthy life expectancy in the US is 64, and the average age of widowhood is 59.

Love to see the C91 on there

Nothing beats the self-congratulatory feeling of seeing someone check out a book you left in a Little Free Library

I actually really appreciate DDOT spelling out that you should not go over 15 mph on the MBT when it’s busier. Since acoustic bike commuters go around 12, I have wondered if it’s rude to go faster than that. 15 seems reasonable, and it’s nice to have like a safe harbor guideline

This one is tough. David was so kind and always very generous with his time. Unfailing love and support for DC soccer teams. Had stories for days and a unique perspective a lot of us are going to miss.

Fond memories of doing this in 2010 at the FOP and getting driven home in the back of a patrol car

🚨 Starting a new thread here because I think there may still be more attempts to delay ranked-choice voting in D.C. It is currently set to be implemented for next June's primary, but some back and forth today makes me think two councilmembers could try to derail that.

It’s great to have money for math teaching, but I am baffled by the plan to make it more difficult for kids to take advantage of the tutoring by making them travel to another location. Why not pay more interventionists to work at the schools where the kids are? www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

car speeds will remain unrestricted

I said I was traveling with two children, and Amtrak said, the quiet car is the place for you

Big things are happening in Mount Vernon Triangle — Cobb Park is taking shape! This project has been years in the making, and come spring, neighbors will have a brand-new space to gather, relax, and enjoy downtown.

We treat teens in public so much worse than teens in cars, even though the cars are a million times more dangerous

My kids’ current favorite toys are my old pitch pipe and calculator ♻️

I've heard so many people ask over the last few months: Whatever happened to that $1.1 billion Congress wouldn't let DC spend this spring? Many assume that money is still sitting around somewhere, but it's not! DC actually spent pretty much all of it. I found out how: wamu.org/story/25/10/...

Buc-ee’s, but for cyclists

Donate blood. Get this view.

Every furloughed parent in DC is at Colmar Manor for this cross country meet

It was almost four years ago that Nina Larson was killed by a driver as she crossed Columbia Road NW in Adams Morgan. (Story: dcist.com/story/21/11/...) It took until this week for the driver to be found guilty of two misdemeanor offenses.

PSA: furlough is a good time to get your free COVID shot that is now authorized without a Rx in DC
