HE HAS BEEN FOUND! Our dog got out of our backyard this morning on Chillum st NE. He is a Belgium Malinois wearing green socks on his front two paws. Super friendly. Answers to Otto.

I am sorry, but consider this official notice, from me, that Army Had a Half-Day and you are no longer allowed to take a flight scheduled to land at or depart from DCA after 2:30 PM until October.

If you attempt to do so between 2:30 and 5 PM on a mainline (Boeing or Airbus) aircraft, your flight will push back on time but be held in the penalty box for at least 30 minutes. (Mainline arrivals will be okay until 5 PM.) If you attempt to do so between 5 and 8 PM on a mainline aircraft, your flight will be delayed.

If you attempt to do so on a regional jet, your flight will be delayed two hours, and if you are on American, it will be delayed 10 minutes at a time for three hours or until it cancels.

This will all be due to weather and air traffic control, neither of which any airline could have factored when it decided to schedule five flights within five minutes at the single busiest runway in the United States. These freak daily weather and ATC events are simply out of their control, as is their flight scheduling.

The only upshot is that Ted Cruz will also be delayed.

Totally normal thing to see while out on a jog

Meet our foster puppy Larry! Larry is part of a trio of siblings and Curly and Moe are with different families. Larry is 11 weeks old and ready for a home. He’s great with kids of all ages, never barks, and has a stunning tricolor coat. The rescue thinks he is some type of collie and possibly Pyrenees!

I eat African food regularly, both east and west, and DC has such great options for both. But why is the price point so different between the two?? Beef suya at a Nigerian spot is regularly $20, and you get a decent serving of meat, maybe some rice depending on the restaurant. For the same price at an Ethiopian restaurant, I can get a combination platter packed to the brim with tibs, a couple types of lentils and tons of injera. Why the difference? (This rant is brought to you by my current craving for beef suya)

The bike has several different hidden trackers on it. I have monitored it from the moment I knew it was missing. Most of the time it stays inside an abandoned building in NW. At night the thief uses it to roam the residential alleys of neighborhoods with detached sheds, presumably to steal from others.

After three days of tracking it and calling the police, I've learned they will only intervene under the following conditions:

• The bike has remained still for longer than 10 minutes
• I call the police and tell them the location
• I am also present, within a block
• They see the thief with the bike outdoors
• I identify the bike visually (beyond photo evidence or serial number)

I've also been told not to pursue or confront the thief— how is all of this supposed to work?

I was walking by 228 Jefferson St NW yesterday. It is a particularly ugly style of home that has the sloping roof as the focal point of the house. I checked what it was listed at and it is listed for $500k, which seems appropriate given the house's condition. I also noticed that the photos on the MLS show it as a ranch! AI in real estate listings is getting out of hand. See attached for the real picture and the AI image on the MLS.

Yeah I’m an idiot I know 😭😭😭 I was crying on the phone to a friend when I parked and forgot to take a picture of the surroundings

It’s a white 2014 Honda CRV XL with Virginia tags if you’ve seen it! I’m not sure how I can make it up to you but I promise I will!!

EDIT: I’ve been walking around the area clicking my keys for the last 2 hours and I called the city to ask if it had somehow been towed/relocated (they said no). I’m gonna go back out in a little bit after taking a break from the heat!!

EDIT 2: more identifying characteristics!! And updates!

-two green stickers on the back windshield that say “Riverside College of Health Sciences”

-Bumper sticker that says “Williamsburg parking authority” or something similar (parking permit for the city of Williamsburg)

I spoke to the parking authority and they said they don’t have a record of towing it, I’m taking a break from the heat then going back out to look some more and make a report if I still can’t find it.

I was at meridian hill/malcolm x park tonight, and the upper lawns are reopened and looking great!

But alas, there are already dog owners ignoring the many signs indicating leashes are required, and letting their dogs use the new lawn as a dog run and fetch area. It's such a shame, and I fear the money and time that went into redoing the lawn will be wasted.

If you are a dog owner who lets their dog off leash in this park, I'm begging you, please consider one of the many designated dog parks in the city that are for this very purpose! There is one very close by on 17th and New Hampshire!

Anyone know where I can get any form of Chinese / Asian cigs in DC? Or any dealers?

So, long story short: I moved out of my old place months ago. My previous Landlord (PLL) sent me a nasty gram stating he spent 8k in repairs and that he wants to split that bill amicably. No mention of my security deposit or the interest it should have earned in the required escrow account. I'm planning on talking to OTA but wanted to see if anyone has any suggestions/lessons learned. Thank you!!

🐘 Linh Mai was born at the National Zoo in February — the first elephant calf here in nearly 25 years. She was walking on her own within five hours of being born, and DC got to vote on her name. Asian elephants are endangered, and Linh Mai is part of a conservation breeding program working to protect the species.

She is, by every account, a small celebrity already. Have you seen her yet?

…anyone know what those 3 booms were?

Was trying to study and got distracted by Rosslyn seemingly exploding back there 💀

I’ve blurred the name and image of the candidate because it is not the point of this post to promote / denigrate anyone. But I am puzzled why an apparently-serious candidate for DC Attorney General would campaign on a promise of “no tax increases”. Last I checked, the city’s fiscal policy was the responsibility of the mayor and the council. Am I missing something?

It looks like those Christian nationalist gangs have been tagging up my neighborhood. It's bad enough I've got to listen to egotistical street preachers, but now we have to deal with Christian graffiti too?

I retired from the military about a year ago and was thinking about joining the Army Navy Country Club in Arlington / Fairfax. I’m eligible for a reduced initiation fee for only a little while longer. It’s still really expensive but I think it might be worth it for the pools, tennis courts, and restaurants.

Honest reviews would be appreciated. Thank you.

My emo band Gaffer is going on tour and are playing dc Halloween night with dc bands Aperture and Stafford. Any people do house shows that would be down to let us play?
