Good morning, D.C. Here’s the question of the day: are your neighbors spies? I’m sure some people are asking themselves that very question this morning after reading about Walter Kendall Myers and his wife, Gwendolyn Steingraber Myers, who apparently had been spying for Cuba over the last thirty years from their residence in Northwest. The two septuagenarians, who lived in The Westchester at 4000 Cathedral Ave NW, had the full compliment of crazy spy things: code names, encrypted emails, over 200 confidential State Department documents, a practice of passing covert information via shortwave radio and in local grocery stores, and even a personal meeting with Fidel Castro. Myers, who had worked for the State Department and Johns Hopkins’ School of Advanced International Studies while spying, blew the whole thing after spilling the beans to an undercover State Department operative posing as a Cuban intelligence officer.

And to think, you thought your neighbor leaving his trash lid off on garbage night was as bad as it got.

Scanning the news this morning:

>> Well, this certainly won’t help ease the transition into one cohesive journalistic unit — washingtonpost.com managing editor Ju-Don Roberts stepped down yesterday, according to the Washington Business Journal. Roberts is the third managing editor to leave the Post’s online branch in the last six months.

>> You can now ride your bike over the Woodrow Wilson bridge — the brand new trail will officially open at 1 p.m. today.

>> Capital Weather Gang contributor Andrew Freedman has left the confines of the District for the Great Plains, in order to chase tornadoes and tweet about it. Hey, if only he’d known — he could have just stayed a little closer to home: after all, a tornado touched down in Stanley, Virginia, just west of Shenandoah National Park, on Thursday.
