Yesterday in the Upper Garden Mount Vernon

Saw the same thing happen last Saturday there.

‘Tis, not the blackouts endured, but the friends made along the way. And the libraries and coffee shops that recharged our devices…

And so ends the Warwick Great Blackout of 2026. For now.

Aspen is back.

Heard power is back on Kennedy St.

New power outage restoration update: this is not good

With St. Elmo’s closed, we had to decamp to Starby’s in Arlington to charge devices…

Also, as @mlaw91.bsky.social would say: How could the bikes do this to Alexandria?

It was pretty impressive series of explosions on the transformer this morning. Big flashes, sparks raining down, booms, and nonchalant firefighters.

Pro-tip from the city’s urban forester: if you see an orange dot painted on a tree like this: Don’t park next to it. (this tree had already been slated for removal).

Surprised at how many candidates did not have union bugs on their lit or signs.

It’s a day that ends in “y”. That means in Alexandria we vote!

Another election in Alexandria tomorrow and little policy daylight b/w the candidates (even less between my top 2).

One candidate has knocked on my door, and left a last minute GOTV lit drop tonight.

Game respects game. You’ve earned this vote.

Make a plan to vote.

All good stuff here.

AND, what exactly can a Tall Ship Providence volunteer do outside of the obligatory drag races with the water taxis? Oh, importantly, are the drag races to National Harbor, Mount Vernon, or the Wharf?

My bad. Blame me.

Friendly reminder that you can renew passports online now…

Do these people have some sort of pheromones that signal to each other that they are the same kind of twisted sickos?

Forecast of 1-36 inches of snow you say? My new mattock from Del Ray Hardware, not a problem.
