My hometown invaded

missizzyThe tourists have been coming in over the past few days, and they're all here now. My commute wasn't too badly effected, but it was a bad one for those in the library who have to take the metro actually through DC. Despite what the the parking and traffic notices the Pentagon has been sending out the past couple weeks have been trying to pretend, it's not the army's birthday they're going to be celebrating tomorrow.
My sister has outright forbidden either my mother or myself from going to the protests. She's convinced people are going to get killed. And there's a strong possibility she's right. I doubt any of the people currently swarming around DC and probably also Old Town right now would have any bones about it, if anyone dared point out of them how many people of this city they're in have lost their livelihoods these past five months. Some of them are almost certainly hoping for an excuse. I suppose they're unlikely to be on this side of the Potomac tomorrow, but even so, after getting the dry cleaning tomorrow, I may not set foot outside the house until Monday.
We are currently under a flood watch, and there's still a chance there'll be rain during the day tomorrow. Unfortunately, though, it looks more likely that'll be over by morning.
