Sigh. I sit down to eat lunch in the Potbelly right off Pennsylvania Ave (yay, jury duty) and this photo is over my table. So I can spend lunch ruminating on the now-destroyed colonnade. At least the food is good.

Same reason they were at Black Cat last night? I was very amused by this sign across the street and a bit up the block from my house this morning.

Here’s a maxi ray, which is about 100’ long and maybe 30 or 40’ wide. In the second picture you can see me holding a wing tip.

There may be a take, but at least there’s often a matching give. This morning I spotted this at the defunct crab house at Vermont and U across from Service Bar.

Awww. I grew up with a sheltie named Tiki (AKC registered name, “Lady Mai Tiki”) but don’t think I’ve ever heard of another one. We also had Tiki’s son, Corky (“Count Corkscrew of Osceola”). This picture is probably close to 45 years old. Best wishes for your Tiki’s recovery!
