This fucking town

zana16I was sitting in Union Station this morning in the food court writing, as I do most mornings before work, and the lights went out. It didn't really worry me until I got outside and there were police cars and caution tape for three blocks, and since I work right next to the Capitol building the mind jumps immediately to the worst conclusions.
Two years ago when we had the earthquake, I was taking my lunch break in the park next to the White House. I didn't realize it was an earthquake, just that the ground was shaking and didn't stop, and I thought very calmly, "Somebody is blowing up the President, I should get away from here." So I started walking, and people started streaming out of their buildings onto the street, and I still didn't put it together for another twenty minutes or so.
So yeah, that was a reminder that maybe moving to Philadelphia would be awesome.
