Morning Walk - Police Arrest on Pennsylvania Avenue

We always take in a morning walk. On the weekend it’s in our neighborhood. During the week it’s in the neighborhood park. If it rains then we go to the mall. If it snows we walk in the garage. But at least once or twice a week we drive in to town for a change of scenery. We generally go to our old Capitol Hill neighborhood or Alexandria with other points of interest depending on the weather and the need to explore new places. Yesterday we drove to the national mall and parked by the American Indian museum, then walked to the natural history museum. It was a glorious day and the crowds walking about are getting more intense. On our way back to the car we took Pennsylvania Avenue where we reached the Canadian Embassy across from the National Gallery of Art. Although we didn’t see anything we heard screams at about noon time. Then we saw two individuals almost get in to a major fight. The next thing we saw was a security person from the embassy appear, make a phone call, and within five minutes there were four police cars, an ambulance, and a fire truck on the scene. We were across the street from the nonsense. The suspect was immediately handcuffed and the individual who was attacked was being medically attended. This altercation occurred about two blocks from the Capitol building in the middle of the day. We lived in this neighborhood for thirteen years. For that reason alone I am glad that we moved three years ago. It’s nice to visit, but I’m not so sure about living there anymore. Things are just getting too weird.
