Good morning, Washington. It’s Presidents’ Day, the holiday where we honor Washington and Lincoln by sleeping in, shopping and going to afternoon movies. WTOP put together a handy list of what’s closed today, which includes all federal and city offices, all schools and libraries, and no mail delivery, trash collection or parking meter fees. Metro is running on a modified Saturday schedule, opening at 5 a.m. and closing at midnight (NB: the Pentagon station closure and Yellow line bridge work continues all day), while Metrobuses are on regular weekday schedules.

Prince George’s County No Longer Fast, Furious: The Post looks back at the bloody street racing accident that killed eight people a year ago, and concludes that street racing in the Prince George’s County area has basically stopped, the result of the cruelest sort of scared-straight programs. The terrible accident on Indian Head Highway just took too many lives for street racing fans to stomach coming back to their dangerous hobby, it seems. Hopefully that attitude will last for years to come.

Another Sexual Assault at Univ. of Maryland: The University of Maryland Department of Public Safety sent out an email over the weekend warning students of another sexual assault of a fellow student. The victim was asleep in her bed in the 7500 block of Hopkins Ave. Friday morning when she was awakened by a male intruder who had entered her bedroom and climbed into her bed. The suspect touched the victim inappropriately, and when the victim awoke, she says she struck the suspect, causing him to flee. The home invasion-style sexual assault mirrors other attacks on the College Park campus over the last several years.

Briefly Noted: Part of Alexandria under boil water advisory … Teen shot in Anacostia Metro station … Chevy Chase residents protest speed cameras.
