Am I seeing correctly that a reading of 4 degrees in DC would be the coldest temperature since 1994??

Yeah it's surprisingly heavy considering how powdery it is! Can't make a good snowball with it.

Do you mean the average in the early 1900s was 16 days, or that in the winter of 1925-26 there were 16 days? It’s good to keep reminding people that the “averages” we talk about are just for recent, climate-warmed years!

Trump declares fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction The designation could have sweeping impacts on U.S. policy toward China as well as the Trump administration’s military buildup in the Western Hemisphere.

Wow, every day the coming war with Venezuela is more like the disastrous war with Iraq. Once again a president says a country of 25-30 million people has lots of chemical weapons when what they actually have is lots of oil. Another Iraq War is what people voted for?? www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

Is This the End of an Era for Soul Food in Washington?

Just ate dinner at Florida Avenue Grill in DC last week -- the food was good! Little twists on traditional soul food in a historic diner atmosphere. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/07/d...

Sooo many asters blooming in our yard now. They came up on their own when I pulled out the invasive porcelainberry!

Of the 12 teams in the Major League Baseball playoffs, five are from cities on the Great Lakes — Milwaukee, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, and Toronto! The only Great Lakes team that didn’t make it was the other Chicago team. How about a Lake vs Lake World Series?

Highest 2 Lowest When a titan music mogul (Denzel Washington), widely known as having the “best ears in the business”, is targeted with a ransom plot, he is jammed up in a life-or-death moral dilemma. Brothers…

Saw the new Spike Lee joint Highest 2 Lowest at the cinema last night and it was thoughtful, exciting, funny, and artistic. Denzel’s got a new facial expression in every shot! a24films.com/films/highes...

You can tell from the traffic on Google Maps that Sligo Creek is flooding New Hampshire Avenue, like it did several years ago.

Rain has been intense here in Chillum for quite a while now and it just keeps coming -- the most rain I've seen this month, and that's saying something.

We are in Chillum and saw not much wind -- this must have dissipated quickly. Glad to be warned, though!

I'm weepy over losing Jill Sobule to a housefire. It brings to mind Stan Rogers' death. They should do a show together in heaven -- it will be great!

Pick any college and ask Google Search AI if it has a pretty campus, and as far as I can tell, it always says yes. It believes all the marketing. It's gullible.

Good morning! I found Twinleaf (Jeffersonia diphylla) behind our yard. Probably planted by a past resident — it’s not been recorded in the wild in Prince George’s County. But still a cool surprise! Looks like I missed the flowers — maybe next year.
