I don't think a dance competition is going to save the town this time.

It's almost eerily quiet, I'm in the burbs, but not far from downtown. It's like we are all holding our breath, scared to move too quickly for fear of startling our neighbors..

It is a very sad time. DC is gray even on the sunniest of days. I live close and go there a few times a month for fun. No more.

Tragic at so many levels...
