This morning
No doubt I'll spend today on pins and needles due to the massive terrorist attacks in London, as will many Washingtonians. Sure, I don't expect anything to happen here, nor would I be in imminent danger, since I'm not taking Metro today, but still, you can't help but get the jitters a little. When passing the Dupont Circle Metro station, I saw only one police car driving by on 20th Street - common enough, but now bogged down with meaning and speculation in the wake of the morning's events. Georgetown, where I am now, is quiet as usual, with the security guards chatting with maintainance workers. While I'm sure downtown and the Hill is more locked down, things are a little too normal around here.
