"There Are Big Tall Terrible Giants in the Sky"

On Presidents' Day, DC residents turned out in droves to say goodbye to long time Hains Point resident, "The Awakening" which is moving to National Harbor in Maryland February 20.

























There are Giants in the sky!
There are big tall terrible Giants
in the sky!
When you're way up high
And you look below
At the world you left
And the things you know,
Little more than a glance
Is enough to show
You just how small you are.























You're free to do
Whatever pleases you,
Exploring things you'd never dare
'Cause you don't care,
When suddenly there's
A big tall terrible Giant at the door,
























And you heart is lead
And your stomach stone
And you're really scared
Being all alone...
























And it's then that you miss
All the things you've known
And the world you've left
And the little you own-




















The fun is done.
You steal what you can and run.
And you scramble down
And you look below,
And the world you know
Begins to grow:




















And you think of all of the things you've seen,
And you wish that you could live in between,
And you're back again,
Only different than before,
After the sky.
There are Giants in the sky!
There are big tall terrible awesome scary wonderful
Giants in the sky!

THE BUREAU OF MISDIRECTED DESTINY (LOGAN CIRCLE STYLE)

R.I.P. bees or is there a new Borf for bees?

I found this odd street memorial to the mysteriously missing bees this afternoon near the corner of 14th and S NW (behind the Garden District). I'm not sure when it went up but it wasn't there last weekend.

(Click to enlarge...but you know that!)

Jesus candles and abandoned honey combs






















A bench is in front where one may sit in quiet reflection on what we may have done.
