Apart from during the pandemic, I’ve been getting my hair cut at the same place for 30 years, which is across the street from the old WaPo building in NW DC. Turns out today was not the best day to visit an establishment that is 3 blocks from the White House, because there are a ton of a people streaming by with banners calling for a cease fire in Gaza.

Took 45 minutes to get 2 miles because police were everywhere and had blocked off vast areas of Northwest DC.
