just for a sense of scale, the DALI at 5,000+ TEU is more than 2x as large as the LARGEST container ships in the 1970s, when this bridge was designed and built. The largest ship to dock in baltimore (just last August!) is 3x as massive as the DALI. porteconomicsmanagement.org/pemp/contents/…

I was holding my two year old daughter on a walk moments ago and for the first time out of nowhere she said,

“I HAVE POCKETS!”

I started to quietly tear up. She couldn’t see my face and I didn’t make a sound, but she said,

Ray [REDACTED] LettieGooch DC REALTIME NEWS DC Police Department i don't blame him for deciding that this (15 seconds of explosions two blocks away) was fireworks and therefore dangerous. very grainy video of me deciding that just stopping in the alley flanked by brick buildings was probably best.
