Pretty day at Brookside Gardens but disappointed by rough pavers crossing an otherwise accessible walk. Had to haul my companion across it backwards to avoid dumping him onto the pavement. Others with same problem warned us, thanks. @MontgomeryParks @stevewright64 @311MC311

It's time for an early reminder: Victim blaming kids on Halloween is WRONG. Safety starts with street engineers and licensed, adult drivers. Period. Halloween is the ONE holiday left that upholds the youth and pedestrian-friendly street. Let's keep it that way.

Insect & gardening Twitter: the stem of one of my tall sturdy lilies has broken near the base and these whitish things look like larvae to me. Any diagnosis/treatment suggestions? @BugQuestions @WDCGardener

Do you believe in kids safety during #Halloween? Of course you do. That's why you should refrain from driving on the evening of the 31st. Halloween is for families on foot. Don't spoil it with your right foot. #WereYouLooking?
