Good morning, Washington. Going forward, I suppose that Redskins fans should probably just pencil in the Monday after Week 3 as the date when their hope for a decent season completely dissipates into thin air. It’s bad enough that the Redskins looked completely overmatched against a team that, before Sunday, had only won three games since the start of 2008, trotted out a rookie quarterback and lost their best player to a groin injury midway through the game. But Skins fans are probably even more contemplative this morning about the way this season has started, once they realize that the team is but a Dallas holding penalty away from being 0-3. (But, hey, Wizards season technically gets started tonight, by which I mean the countdown until John Wall inevitably gets injured.) We’ll have a complete post-mortem of yesterday’s big loss later today — until then, this image probably serves as an appropriate enough illustration of the collective feeling.

DYRS Piloting GPS Monitoring Devices: The District’s Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services, under fire after a year in which more than 15 of its wards have either been charged with murder or killed, is piloting a program of ankle bracelet GPS monitoring. Freeman Klopott reports that the agency has purchased about 200 bracelets, and the program will cost the District about $12 per day, per bracelet. Opponents of DYRS’ residential release programs, including Fraternal Order of Police head Kris Baumann, don’t think the monitoring will help — Baumann told Klopott that “If you think someone is violent enough that they need to be monitored, you just shouldn’t let them out in public.”

Suing: It’s The American Way: J. Freedom du Lac investigates the rift between licensed tour guides and the unlicensed tour guides who feel like the current system is a violation of their Constitutional rights. (I swear, I’m not just mentioning this item to tangentially link to this morning’s news that the owner of the Segway company drove one of the devices off a cliff.) This editor’s take: turning a spat between those who operate businesses with names like “Segs in the City” and don’t want to pony up $200 and take a test like 998 other people have into a Constitutional battle is probably a bit much. But hey, whatever makes you feel important, I guess.

No More Ninety-Degree Days, I Beg You: Clouds! Rain! Cool breezes! Break out the cardigans and cordoroy, autumn weather is finally here!

Briefly Noted: Vice Presidential residence at Naval Observatory to receive upgrades…ICYMI: A nice interactive look at the new Arena Stage from the Post…First Maryland casino opens today…Man, why does Prince William County have to hate on people just looking for a respite from the “hustle and bustle” of Chantilly by doing some chicken farming?

This Day in DCist: In 2007, Showtime thought it was a good idea to promote its hit show Dexter by dying the water at a fountain inside Union Station red. You know, to look like blood. Because Dexter is a serial killer. We weren’t impressed.
