"What are 'Edible Arrangements'? And 'Firearm Coatings'? This is a great planet we live on!" Shops across the street from each other offer diverse products. After a pause to snag hot coffee at Starbucks the Dawn Patrol continues its tour of downtown McLean. Temperatures are dozens of degrees colder than a few days ago: frost glitters on grass and parked cars. We explore a neighborhood but fail to find a way out that doesn't require climbing a fence.

Kerry tells of celebrations after Langley High School's hard-fought victory on Saturday, when for the first time ever the Saxons won the regional girls' basketball title. Onward to the state championship tournament!
