My 100th video blog shows you what it is like to trick or treat in Hong Kong. You may be surprised to hear it's a lot like trick or treating in America. Music by Vexento ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jdr8FDcKft0

Marine One departed the White House Ellipse landing zone this morning on the way to Andrews AFB where the President was making a trip to Detroit. I wasn't able to get to my normal position so I filmed from far away on Constitution Avenue. It's pretty hard to make out much of anything from this distance, but it's always fun to see these helicopters in the final few flights before their retirement this Summer. We then went up to Pennsylvania Avenue to check out some fences that have been removed to allow greater pedestrian access, and came across the Vice President's motorcade coming to the White House grounds via the back door this morning (different entrance from yesterday).
We then finish with some roast beef for lunch.
Show not Tell.
p.s. more coming later tonight

Finally got to see some bears. And Buffalo, and a majestic highway when we got lost in the hail. All in all a pretty goo day.

White House Construction Update and Marine 1 returns
Many of you have asked about the construction across from the White House, some even speculating that “gallows” were being built by a military tribunal to deal with “traitors”. As I showed in my previous video, this construction is actually the press viewing stand for the Inaugural Parade that didn’t take place, and as we can see now a week later, the construction is actually be de-constructed. There is very little left of the viewing platform and it will soon be back in a warehouse.
On the way to the White House we also saw Marine 1, with two decoys, come in for a landing. Following a weekend at home in Delaware, the President flew back this morning after watching the Super Bowl with his family. We also saw the Octagon House, which was once the ‘White House’ (well, more exactly, the President’s house) and a random riot control squad walking down the street, because that sort of thing is now considered normal in Washington D.C., so it seems…
