During your scribbler's near-daily ca.70-mins. regular mid-morning stroll/jog in the Imperial Capital's Cleveland Park area, a walk/run partially intended on his part to pick up trash, including used plastic water bottles (PWBs) for placement in his neighborhood's waste receptacles,

He made the following PWBs discoveries on 9/2:

--Three PWBs on Tilden/Spring of Freedom Street, including a nearly full (of water) plastic bottle undiplomatically placed right outside the entrance to the Hungarian Embassy gate on its left stand.

 --An unusually high nos. of PWBs in magical Rock Creek Park (three), with two in public picnic area no.1 and one on the east side, upper slope, of the Rock Creek Park's trail (on the way to its intersection with Porter Street), evidently cast aside from the window of a vehicle going down southward on Beach Drive.

 --A normally high quantity of PWBs on Porter Street (your blogger counted four, unless his memory is failing him; he's characterized Porter as the Kingdom of PWBs trash, based on his near-daily pick-ups there), today including a crumpled, miserable-looking decapitated bottle without a label at the near-intersection of Porter and Tilden.

An additional elucidating, if not invigorating/artistic/optimistic, piece of news:

Kingdom of Plastic Water Trash, Porter Street, during your scribbler's today's search, disclosed to him a colorful PBW, with a pleasing design (who says art is absent from PWBs labels?), that yours truly had never seen before on the streets of Cleveland Park: A 20 FL. OZ. bottle, depicted below on the extreme left, with the inscription: LIFE WTR Purified Water, pH balanced ~ Electrolytes for taste

Total PWBs pickups Cleveland Park DC ... ten!

Not bad for a day's work!!!

[Late 20th century Americana:] The Girl in the Kent State Photo

Image
In 1970, an image of a dead protester immediately became iconic. But what happened to the 14-year-old kneeling next to him?  (John Filo/Getty Images from )  By Patricia McCormick , The Washington Post ,  April 19, 2021 Excerpt: [jb: from a well-researched (but perhaps a bit too long) article] :  Last May, when Mary Ann Vecchio watched the video of George Floyd’s dying moments, she felt herself plummet through time and space — to a day almost exactly 50 years earlier. On that afternoon in 1970, the world was just as riveted by an image that showed the life draining out of a young man on the ground, this one a black-and-white still photo. Mary Ann was at the center of that photo, her arms raised in anguish, begging for help. That photo, of her kneeling over the body of Kent State University student Jeffrey Miller, is one of the most important images of the 20th century. Taken by student photographer John Filo, it captures Mary Ann’s raw grief and disbelief at the rea...

[Excerpt:] Measure of Justice in the Chauvin Trial

Image
The jury got it right. Now the country has to get the broader questions right. From: Peggy Noonan , The Wall Street Journal , April 22, 2021 6:46 pm ET [on the Chauvin trial, see .]  Excerpt: Some of our policing problem is connected to a problem that affects everything: They came from us . Our police come from modern America, that jittery, jacked-up, broken place. They don’t really come from health and stability but from families that are fractured and a culture that is crude and violent, from hypermedia and videogames, from a society that doesn’t cohere. They don’t come from something boring and solid like the cop on the beat 50 and 100 years ago did; they don’t come from a world that went out of its way to teach them manners, morals, faith. How to act.  All the cops, and the perps, they came from us. image (not from article) from
