The situation in Kabul has cut short a planned vacation at Camp David with Marine One returning to Fort McNair due to South Lawn construction and a Presidential motorcade zipping through the city prior to a national address today about Afghanistan. We also take a quick look at the Afghan Embassy in Washington DC (many cars outside but no visible activity) as the situation on the ground in Kabul is constantly in flux.

Protestors decided to meet DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas when he woke up to get his newspaper on the front step, which mean the DC Police decided to send a civil disturbance unit screaming past my house while I was still tucked up in bed. That got me out the door and down the street to see this protest, and then later I decided to head over to the National Mall, just in time to dodge a monstrous thunderstorm by visiting the African American History Museum, which is really quite impressive, except for the lighting which is really quite bad for video. Apologies for the low-quality video today. I’ll try to do better next time I go back to this interesting museum.

This is a LONG video today because I did a bunch of stuff. We set out to see what was new at the White House and the Capitol, seeing a few protestors on the way, but when that kind of got dull we went to explore in Upper NW on an old abandoned railroad line, only to then find out that Joe Biden was on his way to the US Capitol (where I just was). Back on the bike and back to Capitol Hill. When that dust settled and the sunset, we took a trip to the White House to see the color change that took place last night. Then I was spent, but the next morning was a Marine One flight so I added that as a bonus.
