The name “Worm Moon” is thought to relate to the emergence of earthworms from the thawing soils. That is a distillation of the conversation that had gone through full mugs of coffee. The change in soil composition, for example. The little worms start to turn. Ground is softer, with consideration for how armored vehicles might […]

Fox 5 Announces Stage Three of Cherry Blossom Deployment. There are six, but as of yesterday the ‘florets have extended. Halfway to Stage Six and full blossom!).

(Rev. Thomas Robert Malthus, RFC. 1798. Image wiki). It was a chaotic staff meeting on Tuesday. Monday had been marred by placement of the Chairman’s detritus works of arts on walls not designed to accommodate them.

It was a nearly successful move downslope yesterday. You can see there are a few things left to be moved around in the new unit. There are plenty of boxes, many of them full, and the Latinx crew who arrived in a timely manner to ask us not to use the “x” thing at the […]

(Image 01 March 2023 courtesy NBC Washington DC) “The cherry trees have progressed to florets visible, the 2nd of 6 stages. Depending on the weather, peak bloom should be around 3 weeks away!” @NationalMallNPS tweeted. Naturally, the news was electrifying.
