Good morning, Washington. Scientifically speaking, you’ve got three more days to enjoy summer, but the beautiful autumn weather isn’t waiting for the official change of season to show itself. Today should be an absolutely glorious day to do, well, anything outdoors — the forecast calls for sunny, clear skies and a high in the mid 70s. It’s a near perfect day to check out today’s H Street Festival, check out the goods on display at your local farmers market, or just take a stroll and explore a part of the city which you’ve never seen before.

Scanning the news this morning:

>> All but one of the 22 new ghost bikes have now been removed from the intersection of Connecticut and R.

>> Did you know that Catholic University is “a leader in the field of vitrification, a process that converts decades-old nuclear waste into glass”? Well, now you do!

>> It may be all the way up in the suburbs of Baltimore, but the pictures from yesterday’s massive water main break in Dundalk are a must-see.
