dave you are kicking it so hard i feel like i need to come down like a hammer! you add to this brew sir, but i feel addisson's ghost is much too absent a deed to you sir, and by his son

I think yr diagram is pretty good, dave, and the text much clearer. However, I subtracted one fact regarding L'Enfant. There's no evidence he was a Freemason! However, doesn't we he wasn't a Gnome, or....

(d) That owl observation is an ingenious Tub-ian spin on the "standard" read! I've tried to introduce some more spin in the intro. I think it's time to mangle the tale with some AA Truth...


ok - i'm completely ignorant of this whole thing, and i must say that it's very intriguing. at the same time, it's also easy to get lost (in tracing the pentagram).

so i did about 5 seconds of research.

and if i could suggest a structure for the article, why not start by presenting the 5 points of the pentagram by starting from the NE and moving clockwise, which, i believe, would read:

  1. Dupont Circle
  2. Logan Circle
  3. Mr. Vernon
  4. The White House
  5. Washington Circle

then move to a description of the lines (which can be now be described as running, for example, from pt Dupont to pt Logan) along w/ their breaks.

then discuss the masonic connections and disconnections (and the implications) of the various points and breaks.

so anyways, that's a bunch of work for someone less ignorant than i. but it could be worth it.

at least for me, the ignorant sod who'll get to read the final product.

  • ps - hope i'm not coming across as critical. that t'weren't my drunken intention at all. ya just gust jot my curious juices a-flowin', and now i wanna learn more...
  • Hey man, that's what it's all about. Making it readable is never out of line. I might just tackle it when I get the urge...but not just yet. If you want to take a stab at it, why not? Anyone else for that matter. The next certainly needs shapin' up in some way or another...
