I found this real live cricket taking refuge in my apartment building, near the elevator which actually works now, although it always stops on the first floor (which has no exits to the street). In other news from SoFi*, our building managers have turned off the AC for the season. Can they do that?

*A certain City Paper staffer came up with the name SoFi for my neighborhood, which is in between Rosslyn and Courthouse in Arlington, just south of 50. It’s a strange little pocket of immigrants, military types and rich condo dwellers, anchored by a crab shack/dive bar called the Quarterdeck.
