Life in the big city
Gotta love when you get an email like this from your county government alerting you to the upcoming excitement at your neighborhood playground.
"This morning there will be a drill conducted near Alcova Heights Park on South George Mason Drive with a large number of pedestrians participating. There may also be aircraft and a small amount of non-toxic smoke used in the drill. Exercise caution when driving in that area."
Thankfully, I wasn't planning to take Madchen there this morning (it's 2 blocks away and we go there often). And, thankfully, I got this email before heading out for the day... otherwise I might have been seriously freaked out by the number of people dressed in camouflage walking through our neighborhood, not the mention the presumably-staged sounds of explosions. Oh, how I love living in the DC area...
