Temporary wayfinding. This is the trunk of a street tree that was removed after the last big storm. Eventually city crews will grind out the stump and plant a new tree. #SeenOnTheDogwalk

Sometimes I think my dog actually likes to walk past the house with the dog that barks at her from behind a glass door just so she can grumble about the insult.

I have not even entered the stadium and this is already the wettest Washington Spirit game yet (from the bikeshare).

It is also currently raining, which may be a challenge for the marketing.

There are children in front of the elementary school who are either being murdered or trying to get people to stop for a car wash fundraiser, it's hard to tell which from the shrieking.

Stopped for a few minutes to enjoy the spectacle of a state visit by Xi Jinping. There are a lot of organized spectators with Chinese and US flags on Pennsylvania Ave between the hotel and the White House.

I love it during warmups at the Washington Spirit game when the opposing team just continuously fires errant shots straight into the supporter section.

With all the downed trees and branches from last night's storm in DC, the bus ride into work through the neighborhood was like a mild to medium disaster tour.

It is tiresome to keep track of every gd subscription so your purchases aren't supporting anti-vax and anti-immigrant positions. This is about 1Password and their support of the Omacom Foundation of David Heinemeier Hansson. www.theverge.com/tech/988536/1passw…

Combatting counterfeiting of currency was the original mandate of the Secret Service, which is why they operated under the Department of Treasury until 2003. These are all good tidbits for pub trivia.

A fun thing about living in DC is when you get a misdelivered package of counterfeit currency reports each with a fake bill. But because you live in DC, you know to call the Secret Service.

The defining feature of seeing a band at the Quarry House Tavern is that they set up right in front of the restrooms. Check out Soft Palms.

A musician with dark hair sings into a microphone while playing an electric guitar on a dimly lit stage under colorful string lights. In the background, there is a restroom sign on a door.

Painfully early to a show again. You would think I would know better in my fifth decade. The bands are eating burgers.

Rode the train up to NYC with my kid to see Ted Leo play a free show at Tompkins Square Park, but first Shellshag.
