Sorry if this is not the right place to do this - but since it's in the DC area, I thought I would ask any other homeowners (specifically in the Tenleytown/AU area) if they had a similar problem this month with their water bill. Usually the bill is around $100, there has been a SLIGHT increase in the last 2-3 months, but this month the bill came out to a little over $1000!
I'm really confused because nothing has changed in my water usage (I'm not watering plants or anything with the season change).
The one thing that I did notice was a month or so ago, the fire hydrant up the street was running - like spewing out water. At the time I saw it, workers were standing around it, but I have no idea how long it had been going for. My street had a lot of water flowing down it on both sides (so it had been going on for awhile, clearly).
Can the city charge the folks in the neighborhood for that water damage/loss from the hydrant?
Did anyone else see the guy at the Tenleytown metro station mezzanine this morning, pants and underpants around his ankles, casually hanging out? Any idea what that was all about?
How is it possible there are no straight up bars in tenleytown? Is AU a dry campus or something
I'm curious about people's experience of biking along Mass Ave? The most direct route from my home to office is basically side streets from Tenleytown as far as the Observatory and then Mass Ave to DuPont. I've never biked this section of Mass Ave but having driven it, I know the traffic is often bad and the drivers insane. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
The scene starts at a table with a group of former Toppats hanging out on their break playing poker, telling each other stories. Mr. Macbeth shared the surprising stressful story of the creation of his custom gun, Quincy Tattlemuffin shared quite a few stories from his family history in the Toppat Clan, and Sven Svenson was talking about how stressed he had been preparing to launch the orbital station into space, before Henry abruptly took the pressure off of his back.
Amongst these former criminals was a man known as Winston Davis. Someone who the owner of the Space Resort, Henry Stickmin, previously framed for murder in order to escape from West Mesa Penitentiary.
Now to say Winston was hesitant to work for Henry when he effectively kidnapped him along with most of the Toppat Clan would be an understatement. But considering that the alternative to this was to be sent down to earth and get arrested by the Government, this was the better option without a doubt. Besides, this was infinitely more legal than being in the Toppat Clan, Winston got pardoned for all of his crimes, and he gets to live a fairly luxurious life in space. Plus Henry was a surprisingly nice boss. Before the game of poker could progress any further, a watch on Svens wrist went off, signaling that their break was over.
“Alrighty, back to work men.” Sven said, with everyone putting down their decks for Mr. Macbeth to shuffle and put away.
“Hey same time tomorrow boys alright?” Blast Connors called out as he went back to his station. The group all collectively agreed before they left for their own stations. Winston Davis and Mr. Macbeth were walking down the same hallway.
The two were just casually chatting about miscellaneous things, before they were suddenly cut off by the piercing noise of children screaming.
“What the hell was that?!” Mr. Macbeth yelled out, before he and Winston saw some people wearing weird grey hats running down the hall towards the screaming.
The two snuck around, and eventually found the source of the screaming. In the children’s play area, there were two people wearing those grey hats, pointing guns at Cool Catie and Al the Pal, two of the main employees working at the play area, with the kids all huddling at the back of the area.
“Hold it right there, you Toppats are coming with us!” Shouted Thormund Riloc.
“But we reformed! We all even got pardoned by the Government! You can’t do this!” Yelled Katie.
“Tell it to somebody who cares! Once a c

It has been an overall uneventful day at the Canadian prison known as The Wall. No escape attempts, no new criminals brought in, nobody chewing gum, nothing. Just peace and quiet.
The warden, Dimitri Johannes Petrov, was busy doing work on his computer, but he heard knocking on his door. “Yes, come on in.” He said, before two figures came into the room.
The first of the two was Dimitris own right hand man and the main muscle of the complex, Gregori Olyat. The second was a new recruit from New Mexico, Gary Gray.
“Yes hello Gary, how are you doing?” Dimitri said, welcoming the newbie in.
“Doing pretty good boss, Greg and I just broke up a fight between two inmates, ain’t that right Greg?” Gary said happily, with Gregori simply nodding in response.
“I assume that you’re here to talk about the vacation you’re planning?” Dimitri said, with Gary hopping onto the seat across from his desk.
“Yeah. Been doing a pretty good job here for my first quarter huh?” Gary said.
“Mmm...considering you’ve been excelling ever since you transferred here from West Mesa, I think I’ll allow it.” Dimitri said, putting his eyes back onto whatever he was doing on the computer.
“Ah thanks boss! Means the world to me! Been dying to go visit that Stickmin Space Resort place since it opened!” Gary said with relief, with Gregori immediately being taken back by what he just said.
“Yes yes no need to thank me-wait, the what space resort?” Dimitri said, his tone suddenly becoming far more serious at the last part.
“Yeah, the Stickmin Space Resort, never heard of it? It was actually a criminal clans rocket before some guy named Henry Stickmin stole it, pretty crazy right?” Gary said casually, with Dimitri and Gregori staring at him wide eyed.
Dimitri immediately ditched what he was doing on his computer and looked this up. This had to be some sort of mixup, right? He killed Henry a year ago, he should be nothing more than a frozen skeleton at the bottom of the ocean now, right?
But alas when Dimitris outdated browser loaded, there it was. The Stickmin Space Resort. Pictures and all, with a lot of them having Henry in them. Gregori walked over to get a look for himself, covering his mouth with his hand when he saw that Henry was still alive and kicking.
“You know it’s funny, back my old workplace we actually had Henry locked up, before some doofus forgot to check a package before giving it to him. Henry ended up calling up a lawyer and was actually proven innocent.

Winston Davis pulls out two megaphones and puts one in front of the other in front of his mouth. Taking a deep breath, Winston let out the loudest scream he could, further amplified by the megaphones.
All of the Wall employees are startled by the sudden noise, dropping their weapons in the process (Much like Sven is SBO). The screen shows each Wall employe getting knocked out by a resort employee one by one, in increasingly comical ways.
—————
The scene cuts to Henry in his office (formally Reginalds). He is simply doing paperwork on his desk with a bored expression on his face. That is until Dimitri and Gregori burst into his office pointing guns at him, causing him to put his hands up panicked.
“You’re a real wise guy Stickmin, but nobody, and I mean NOBODY, escapes the Wall. Gregori, take him.” Dimitri said as Gregori got a familiar pair of handcuffs out.
—————
The scene cuts back to the resort staff at the pool, the intercom then went off with an unfamiliar Russian voice.
“Attention all Toppats. We have captured your leader. If you wish no harm to be done to him, please cooperate with any of our soldiers that you encounter.” the voice said before cutting out.
“Ugh. The Wall. Should’ve known. Jackasses never know to mind their own business.” Commented Handsome Harold, pinching his nose in frustration.
Before Winston could question what Harold said, Kabbitz, one of the most popular performers at the Stickmin Space Resort, was blown back through a wall. Through the new hole stepped out former pro boxer, Cocca Colinski.
“Ohohoho! A bit of advice, don’t talk yourself up. I was expecting a little more from the Clans so called “best fighter”.” Cocca chuckled as Kabbitz picked himself back up.
“Ngh...you think you’ve won? This is only the beginning!” Kabbitz yelled as he tackled Cocca through the hole into the hall of Toppat leaders, causing more havoc for the Space Resort Staff, and Wall employees, and the guests at the resort.
“Those two idiots are gonna destroy the entire station at this rate! We gotta stop em!” Hardold said in a panic as the two brawlers continued to fight.
