More than a bit off topic, but President Bush is speaking here today, and while he has been in this building before, I had forgotten what a flurry of activity surrounds his visits. Helicopters are circling the building and both Coast Guard and police boats and helicopters are actively moving up-and-down the river.
The bomb-sniffing dogs checked out all of our briefcases this morning as we entered and there are all manner of security personnel moving about. Adding to the scene are various demonstrating groups (both pro- and anti- Bush it appears) making their case just down the street.
Great stuff.
