Map of Cleveland Park

During your blogger's near-daily ca. 70 mins trash-picking stroll/jog in the NW quadrant of the imperial capital, he discovered nothing new on 9/19 (the nothing new includes a used prophylactic on Porter Street; but your scribbler's afoot and  lighthearted  journey confirmed a pattern, not based on scientific research but day-to-day experience, that the number of plastic water bottles (PWBs) he picks up with his newly found tool -- since 9/17 his "trash grabber,"

a gift from a gardener on Connecticut Avenue -- is an average of about five a day (with some days far above but few below that number) 

***

 As for 9/19, for plastic trash statistical fans, here's a street-by-street analysis:

 --Tilden Street: two PWBs

--Spring of Freedom Street (an offshoot of Tilden Street); where the Czech and Hungarian embassies are located: one 

 --Porter Street, the Trash Kingdom of PWBs: two, including one half-filled with urine

-- Connecticut Ave (undergoing major repairs): one


Have a nice day!!!

The Case for Keeping San Francisco’s Disputed George Washington Murals

Image
Exposure to art — even uncomfortable art — is healthy, stimulating, and worthy of students’ debate. Image The San Francisco Board of Education voted to cover “The Life of Washington,” a mural cycle from 1935-36, at a school named for the first president. Victor Arnautoff’s  frescoes include images of slaves and a dead Native American, which angered some students and parents.  Credit Credit Jim Wilson/The New York Times By  Roberta Smith , The New York Times July 26, 2019 512 After half a century of intermittent debate and protest, the  San Francisco Board of Education   voted unanimously  in June to whitewash the 13 murals depicting the life of George Washington that line the halls of a high school named for the first president. The murals’ offense is that they depict some ugly truths about the history of the United States, namely two of its original sins: slavery and the Native American genocid...

How Sir Francis Drake and Queen Elizabeth I Made England a Global Power

Image
  Image from article: Queen Elizabeth I knighting Francis Drake, 1581. Credit...Alamy   Book Review by Nigel Cliff , The New York Times , March 10, 2021  IN SEARCH OF A KINGDOM Francis Drake, Elizabeth I, and the Perilous Birth of the British Empire By Laurence Bergreen England is a nation divided. In one camp, nationalists decry the diabolical threat to their freedom posed by dastardly Continentals, instead throwing their hopes on a shadow empire of boundless trading opportunities. In the other, pro-Europeans bitterly protest that their country is making a cataclysmic mistake and bide their time. Sound familiar? Just kidding. It’s not Boris Johnson’s Brexit Britain but the England of the late 16th century, the subject of “In Search of a Kingdom.”   In Laurence Bergreen’s colorful assessment, an unlikely alliance between Queen Elizabeth I and Sir Francis Drake empowered English Protestants to see off Continental Catholics and stake out the beginnings of the British ...
