Is someone clever data person tracking the inevitable dropoff of DC-area dogs/children being named "Harper" now that Bryce is gone? @dougherty_jesse?

[Nancy Chen @NancyChenNews]

My first run with Harper — we did two miles before the rain started!

@MoSeifeldein Unacceptable! I wonder how they feel about the (Christian) Amish who raised the chickens in the first place?

While it IS possible to disagree in good faith about this and other local issues, there's no place for hate. Thank you, Councilman, for representing with class.

Amazon reportedly has a team that listens to Alexa conversations https://t.co/sglSRKxXJw

@Motoconomist this is interesting but regrettably short on alternative solutions...

[Red Brick Rabelais @RBRabelais]

"If supply and demand is your gospel, it makes sense to seek to lower prices by dramatically increasing supply...That would do the trick, for sure, but whether it would actually be the kind of stable and prosperous world they envision is another question"

All jokes aside, Alexandria is lucky to have a Mayor who gets this excited about street paving!

[Justin Wilson @justindotnet]

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year..”

Monday is the first day of Paving Season!

During the first two weeks the City will be resurfacing these streets.

The full schedule is online at https://t.co/Z4rD5XdGaF

@justindotnet @WEKLawyer Come now...surely the Commodore, as one of your most fervent supporters, can get his street moved up the list just a bit? 😉

[Alex Koma @AlexKomaDC]

This line jumped out to me in this (very good) #Amazon piece: "Asked what Arlington should expect with Amazon’s arrival, ­Scholes said the company, though generally private, will be more engaged in civic life than it was at first in Seattle.”

Still waiting to see that in action.
