Robert Redford is 25!  And look at that mustache/sideburns combination. Back in Redford’s day, you could rock that combination without a trace of irony and women would ADORE you for it.  Oh, how I long for the days when men were men and Robert Redford made movies that were good instead of movies like “The Last Castle.”

Floating through Georgetown’s Past: Monday was not the first time the Potomac overran its banks in dramatic fashion (although watching waterlogged Jaguars getting fished out of a parking garage sure was entertaining.)  In a photograph from the collection of the Library of Congress, two boaters float through another Georgetown flood, sometime between 1909 and 1923.

Stinkbug, Scourge of Gardens and Offices Alike. The brown marmorated stink bug has been sweeping south and west, leaving rotten tomatoes and chewed-through vineyards in their wake.  But the reign of terror doesn’t stop at the door step - these guys will crawl on your desk, your phone charger, fly into your co-workers hair - a quarter-inch of anarchy.  But don’t even think of squishing one - that’s the way to release the stink.
