Coming home yesterday, I got held up by another motorcade for some other bigwigs. The cops stopped traffic so the motorcade could make a U-turn and block up the street. The secret service agents and foreign security agents wandered around keeping an eye on things while the delegation from wherever took their time getting to their cars. I was tempted to just slip through til I saw the cops blocking pedestrians from crossing.

This morning another motorcade was hanging around the Waldorf so I guess the prez is still in town. With all the cops hanging around, it made running reds easier because drivers were on their best behavior.
