No thanks. I find the beauty of it all quite enjoyable.

I heard a southbound freight head through Alexandria just after 1 a.m. I
didn't hear it calling signals on the scanner, so I don't know what it
was. Perhaps teenage hooligans were out joyriding around in it.

Doing just fine, thanks. I went cross-country skiing in Alexandria last
night. Wow, is that exhausting. I hope it stays like this for days. 

Park Police got a call that three middle-Eastern males in a black
Cherokee were seen taking pictures of the Capitol. They were at the
Washington Monument at the time. Can't be too careful, huh?
