Pile of Air Conditioners

Our apartment recently had window upgrades for all units, and the process included removing the old air conditioners and putting in fresh new ones. The old aircons were discarded, stacked in a pile down in the basement; so much cooling potentiality now gathering dust in a forgotten corner.

Free Cone Day today, so kingkool68 and skunkgal and I took a break from work to go down to Ben and Jerry’s in Georgetown and avail ourselves of the frozen dairy giveaway. Some quick phone snaps from while we stood in the considerable line:

Metro Tunnel

Potomac High Tide

Flood warnings on the Potomac River today due to swelling brought about by heavy rains. Here’s a quick clip from the Harbour, with a close up of the measuring stick on the dock, about a half hour before tide hits its highest mark. Lots of debris on the river, and the water is almost six [...]
