The White House Christmas Tree, a living tree planted just outside on the Ellipse, is dead. Disease ravished the tree so the Park Service decided for the first time in 50 years we would have a cut Christmas tree as the National Tree. That was all well and good, until the winds kicked up and blew that tree over. I was there as workers tried to pick it back up, but then I went over to the US Capitol to catch the tree lighting with the Speaker of the House. But that was disrupted by some Gaza Palestine protesters, who were quickly arrested by the US Capitol Police. How was your day? Show not Tell.

OOF! Or something like that. The Iceland team leads their fans in a rousing Viking Cheer (that they borrowed from Scotland) at the end of their upset victory over England in the 2016 European Cup.

I'm back in D.C. and we're off to the White House for a helicopter that doesn't arrive, up to Adams Morgan for smoke (but can't see the fire) and then back to the White House where the Polish Prime Minister and President (two different guys) come to speak to the press, but it was in Polish for the most part.

Yea, sometimes you have to go to Ikea, and today was one of those days where we rode across town on the Hong Kong tram to the Causeway Bay Ikea. Was a bit crazy so I celebrated with some udon when it was all over. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijlYu6rM8C8
