Now that I have a flat front tire, I wish I had spent more time learning to ride a wheelie on my bike.

Sunday funday at Point Lookout, MD.

I can see Arlington (and Turnstile) from my backyard.

Even a cracked pot can heat up most of your soup.

A 2009 radiological survey of downtown Washington, DC found slightly elevated readings at the World War II Memorial and elsewhere “caused by the building materials containing naturally occurring radioisotopes.” https://fas.org/publication/dc_radiological/

IMPORTANT VULNERABILITY DISCLOSURE: sometimes I feel sad

Mini candy bars too expensive. Going a different way for trick or treaters this year.

Really enjoyed this interview from Pitchfork on Twisted Teens. I went to college in New Orleans many years ago, and I always wondered what it would have been like to continue living there with a feral guinea pig like these guys. https://pitchfork.com/story/twisted-teens-hit-the-big-time-interview/

Angine de Poitrine now scheduled to perform again May 2, 2027 at The Anthem in DC after a couple of smaller venues earlier this year.

Houdini was killed by a bowel obstruction brought on by a fibrous mass of chop suey? A regular NYT story, not the recipes. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/arts/houdini-death-mystery.html?unlocked_article_code=1.KFE.x0Fm.64FjuS9HLZ06&smid=nytcore-android-share

Capitol Hill spook

Finally getting rid of the landline, which has actually been voip rather than copper for the last 10+ years. I still feel attached to the number, so I'm going to park it at least for a while.

The Amazon "About You" page is going to out me as normcore. "Bulk purchasing men's khaki pants" is a low blow.

We have a new tracking system at work called ROBOT, which is an interesting way of finding out who pronounces it as "robot" and who says "robutt."

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

The tress train is just pulling into the

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

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.

Going to see Aldous Harding tonight, or as my family calls her, "the big hat lady." By all accounts, she will not be playing this song on this tour. https://youtu.be/QyZeJr5ppm8?is=NEQKS75Txf9x7rVj

Had a dream last night that Amazon was testing a new hypersonic ballistic delivery system, but it kept blowing people up as packages hit the central mass of the recipients.

When they say the walls have ears

Found a credit union ATM that doesn't charge a fee and dispenses $10s. What a time to be alive!

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. https://www.theverge.com/tech/988536/1password-dhh-linux-controversy
