@Victim of the 70s: What a crock of shit you spew! You can't even get it right---it is Webelos with an "s". Webelos in my day in the Cubs stood for "Wolf Bear Lion Scout (they have changed this now to We'll Be Loyal Scouts) but it still represents the transition from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts.

@ Camps: Indeed I have shopped at the Good Fortune just a couple of times in the last 6 weeks and each time they've removed merchandise from more and more areas of the store. They also refuse to heat the place, so the cashiers are forced to wear coats. I predict it will be Adios in just a few weeks. Something about that location seems to be a jinx: Safeway--bye bye; previous Asian market--bye by

As a Fairfax Co. resident I am proud to see this young lady has excelled in an Olympic sport after just a few years training. However, I am more proud to see that she is an engineering student. As a retired computer scientist I applaud anyone who can juggle a demanding academic schedule in sciences and engineering with an avocation of Olympic caliber (no pun intended).

Trader Joes Centreville isn't that bad. It seems that everyone just wants to absolutely park as close a possible. If you park back a couple of rows, even though you have to walk a bit (heaven forbid!) it makes up for the exasperation of trying to park in the first row. It's also easier to get out as you have completely avoided the mess up close to the store.

@Snoop: I enjoyed your joke about pawpaws on a dogdog. In a more serious note there are pawpaws ripe just now on Cub Run and its tributaries. It seems to be not a very good year (as compared to 2011, when there were a shit-load of them in the wild) but I just picked one today on Cub Run (leaving a number of them to ripen) and noted three downed ones that had rotted and been eaten by bugs.

@arealhoot: Indeed I've heard many a barred owl (or pairs) hooting in the Cub Run Stream Valley Park. Their hoots are easily identified as as they are always to the rhythm of "Here comes the bride. Big fat and wide" (Others say "Who Cooks for you. Who cooks for you").

@RoseM: I cannot believe that anyone is so stupid as to claim that mulberries are poisonous. Just last night I had a drink with gin and some native mulberries that I picked a year ago---delicious. Also made a pie yesterday from from 1/2 wild blackberries and 1/2 wineberries. That, too, was delicious. And by the way I am Caucasian.

@Blue Plains: I used to work near that place. I found out one of the reasons the plant stinks, especially in the summer, when some of us took a tour: There is one building where a series of chain-driven scoops pull out much of the trash (cardboard, wood, styrofoam, etc.) before the raw sewage enters the main plant. All of these solids are piled up outside, where they spew their odor from soakin

Bamboo, Schamboo. I grew up in central Washington State and we had black widows in our basement.
