The morning after.

After sleeping in a little bit after the storm kept me up, it was refreshing to walk over to my local coffee shop and see all the people out and about on the Hill. There are a few downed trees, and a lot of leaves and small branches all over the place. But this was my favorite scene from the morning:

No, honey, turn the wheel away from the leaves.

I managed to walk by at the perfect time -- this couple was trying to figure out how to navigate their car out from under this tree branch, but the branch hadn't hit the car at all. Talk about a lucky break.

Now that the storm has passed through, I might try to get in my first run back in D.C. this afternoon. And then, my fall schedule officially begins tomorrow with my fellowship down at the D.C. Superior Court (and class on Tuesday).
