Anyone heard of any strange activity going on in Washington right now?
I got this message tonite:

...because there is something clearly going on here on Capitol Hill tonight. Helicopters in the no fly zone and fire men walking up and down the street. Senator Landuiex from Louisian was just seen leaving her house in a white suburban with lights. Time for me to head to the suburbs by car just in case something real is going on here.

Anyone in the area? :shrug:

9. You might want to look at the source of your message to interpret it
... correctly.

I just wonder if this is abnormal without more information to distinguish it from any other night.

10. Has there ever been a time that something strange wasn't going on?
It would be pretty strange if there wasn't something nefarious going on in Washington. Even stranger would be something beneficial was going on in Washington.

11. My son just flew in from Bangalore today and
EVERYONE was frisked and had all luggage gone through in Paris. He thought that was unusual, but saw no other signs of heightened security once he got into the US.

12. There is very little traffic on the streets
if you take a look at live traffic cams in Washington DC

Click on the dots on the city map to get cameras at exact street locations.

20. Someone from an Ebay auction.
They said they wanted to wait a day before sending a payment because of some activity going on in DC. It's probably nothing but I was curious to see if there was anyone else in the area that noticed any peculiar activity.

29. Maybe they're just waiting
Edited on Sun Oct-15-06 10:05 PM by Marie26
a day to deposit the money in their account on Monday? Since it's Sunday, they couldn't deposit the $$ now. Points for creativity on the excuse, though.

19. Crystal City

Crystal City was unusually quiet tonight. Normally, the contractors and per diem govt. people are already there for Monday morning business. We ate at the National Diner near the airport and were the only people there -- for 2 hours. Holiday Inn adjacent to diner was nearly deserted (again unusual for a Sunday night).

23. My birthday's tomorrow (the 16th)
(it's still Sunday night here in the midwest), so I have a selfish wish that an October surprise NOT happen tomorrow. I've always felt sorry for people with a September 11th birthday. I DO NOT want October 16th to become a "household date".

I realize that's a minor consideration, in the scheme of things... I really wish those people would stop playing such evil political games. :evilfrown:
