1. The rainfall at National Airport Friday and Saturday was 7.34 inches.
2. The rain affected the Christian evangelical to-do scheduled for the mall. The leader, Luis Palau, said: "I'm not discouraged. I'm perplexed that the Lord would allow this rain to come and despite all our prayers - it's still coming." I guess the earthquake in Pakistan/Kashmir, killing tens of thousands, is not a surprise. God could easily ordain that. But, the idea that God would let it rain on Mr. Palau is hard to figure.
3. The metro repairs over the weekend made the normal 45 minute commute of an 18 year old waitress even longer. A 45 minute commute for an 18 year old?
4. While the Capitals lose millions every year, the Nationals made $25 million their first year.
5. American University's president Ladner had a social secretary who among other things, supervised the president's house, including the birdpaths and planters, and the silver closets and the butler's pantries.
6. An hispanic kid, on his 18th birthday, was shot dead by a Frederick policeman, after he had aimed a BB-gun at the policeman. The kid was probably involved in drugs, and gangs, and was running away from an assault, when he turned around and pointed the realistic looking gun at the chasing policeman.
7. If a woman is "attacked", what does that mean? If she was "assaulted", is that the same, or different?

9. 210,000 DC residents (that is about 40%) live in areas that "lack access to routine medical services." What can this mean?
10. What is, and what do you do with, apple skoal?

12. Can you say "it's", when you mean "it has"?
