This week ⁦@dcrotary⁩ we had my good friend Stephen Powers ⁦@DCStones⁩ join us as our speaker. He’s the lead “stoner,” subject matter experts on DC’s 40 boundary stones. Also pictured is our mutual friend, historian John Muller ⁦@WashSyndicate⁩.

This could be the world's first recorded sighting of a live adult black devil or anglerfish (Melanocetus johnsonii), a deep sea creature in broad daylight and on the surface!!😱

Proud to serve.
We were sad to learn that Boundary Stone #7 in SE placed in 1792, one of 40 (now 37) original federal monuments to mark the boundary of the “Territory of Columbia” was missing. Fortunately, engineer & historian Steven Powers saved the stone out of the rubble of a car accident.

Big thanks to @DCStones1978 for chatting with me about the fascinating history of the boundary stones and the efforts to preserve them. He's visited every stone in a single day for 18 straight years. More history and photos on his site: dcstones.org/

Interesting backstory here on the boundary stone-inspired unis, which a die-hard Wizards fan who also happens to be a boundary stone expert, helped create. Washington will debut a City Edition court (different from the court it'll use for in-season tourney games) on Dec. 15.
