LECTURE TIME, geo! Diet Coke is baaaaad to take on such a hot, humid day!
Ya need WATER (the caffeine and the aspartame in DC are both diuretics,
depleting your body of much needed H2O, yadda yadda yadda!) LOL!

I'll be updating your clues this evening -- thanks for the update, and
especially for the "lessons learned"! One of my boxes (River Bend) was
washed away when a nearby river flooded its banks two springs ago, and
another (Jabberwocky) is pretty much covered by those "leaves of three,"
and I am sure I am personally responsible for the stock market increase
of Calamine Lotion!
