A tree fell down on D Street at 11th Street NE at 3:30 Saturday June 20. Fortunately no one was injured and no vehicles damaged. @dcfireems.bsky.social was on the scene and say they’ll close D Street between 10 & 11 Streets NE for several hours pending removal.

Pebble-dash sidewalk lined by allee of leafless wintry willow oaks along the Potomac River Channel in Southwest D.C. Patches of snow remain alongside. In foreground, at eye level on pebbled Mid-Century Modern light pole, is affixed a red banner reading "FREE DC."Close-up of FREE DC banner on the beautiful Southwest waterfront beyond the DC Wharf. In background, you can see the row of globe-shaped light poles broken up by tasteful low shrubbery beds. Beyond that, Buzzard Point + Fort McNair, where the Anacostia and Potomac Rivers meet to flow together to the Chesapeake Bay.From maybe it's last day on view, in mid-February, a knitted "ALEX" yarnbomb tied to the promenade fence. It's black-bordered black on white with a red cross for his nursing service. Behind it, sun glances on gently wavy waters of the Potomac Channel, with the Hains Point/East Potomac Park treeline in the distance. (That's the park where Trump wants to take over an affordable public golf course to brand + gild it in his execrable fashion, ruining it for the actual "real Americans" who live here and enjoy it as it is.)

Got salt stains? We asked the Canadian on staff what to do. “Vinegar! Mix equal parts with water. Spray or use a sponge or soft rag. Dab along the white lines. Use a brush on suede or nubuck.” “And don’t let it sit! Salt burns so these lines will stay if left for long enough —after a few days.”
