My heart breaks for 67 people killed in yesterday’s plane cranes. Statistically, 78 people were also killed in traffic crashes today, yesterday, the day before that and likely tomorrow and every day going forward unless something changes.

This my semi-annual resounding endorsement for the Nat’l Museum of Play in Rochester, NY. It’s the best children’s museum with days of things to explore. There are three arcades, a Wegmans grocery store, Sesame Street and much more. It’s worth the trip to Upstate NY on its own.

NPS is accepting comments on the Mount Vernon Trail and GW Parkway EA. I hope people will ask NPS to plan for a trail connection from the MVT to the Roosevelt Bridge. DDOT is building a widened path on the downstream side of the bridge that needs a VA connection. cc: @juddlumberjack.bsky.social
