Today’s Happenings

I’m staying home today and catching up on all kinds of work. I started hearing some loud noises this afternoon and didn’t think much of it at first. There’s a lot of traffic around here, and a lot of aircraft fly nearby. I hear a lot of noises and can’t figure out what they are. But the noises continued. My first thought was that it sounded like cannon fire. Then I thought maybe fireworks. For about half an hour, the explosions continued, so I decided to investigate. So, to the best of my ability, I ran across the permafrost that is covering Northern Virginia to find out what was going on. Right across the street from my building, there was a Revolutionary War reenactment.

And then there was this random snow storm.
