One day, I'll go somewhere without incident....

.....but this is not that day. It all started off well enough - catch the train from New York to DC...

....hurl the bags in the hotel then go out for a wander.

It was never going to be that easy, was it?

Within minutes of me leaving the hotel, some crazy fool decides to crash their car into someone else right outside the United States Capitol - seconds later, there's freaking cops running around waving guns, fire engines and a WHAAAAAMBULANCE for the chick who can't drive straight.

Obviously, when terrorists decide to storm the Capital, their fiendish plan will involve two chicks fender bending each other while I stroll past looking confused.


Incidentally, last time I was in this same spot (or close enough) a bunch of guys in yellow boiler suits and masks holding hand-held scanners of some description went running past with a bunch of odd looking trucks.

Then I was violently ill for weeks. That ain't no kwinkydink!
