What a day, huh?

Who ever said August was a slow news month?

And to top it off, I came back from walking my dog tonight to find what seemed like half the D.C. Fire Department in front of my building. Apparently, the microwave in the unit above mine caught on fire. It was quite a scene. Fortunately, no one was hurt and there was very little damage to the building. Those firefighters do amazing work. Despite being right below the fire, I had no smoke or water damage. John may be dealing with fire issues in Greece, but I had them right here on Wyoming Avenue.

Anyway, that was an interesting way to end a fascinating news day. So much to discuss -- so go for it.
