The fences around the Capitol building were recently taken down and I thought a visit might be appropriate since I had some extra time between medical appointments. All did seem normal, or at least what I remembered as normal. Of course, the drama inside the building hasn't really changed...the symbol of our democracy is just a place where dysfunction is the business of the people.
The ninety mile drive home took me four hours. Imagine.
