I thought these cameras had telescoping poles that could even be dropped down level, but they are servicing it with a cherry picker. Tax dollars. Don't have to be efficient.
And I think this is a gas sniffer. Not sure what it is sniffing for. At the top of this picture is a church near the White House where Trump will attend a service tomorrow morning I think. So they have these crowd control walls at the ready. |

And since it's supposed to rain on Trump tomorrow, they have a nice tent set up for guards.
There were some Canadians visiting or something. People were taking pictures of them, so I did too. Here I was at the north side of Lafayette Park, 1 block from the White House. You can see the tall crowd fences in the background. They are serious about security here because this is where Trump is supposed to review the parade from behind thick bullet proof glass. Just as I got here, the police and Secret Service started pushing all the pedestrians back away from the street. Only one reason for that. the motorcade was about to come through. But my damn phone was running out of batteries and giving me grief, so I missed the shot. I saw Obama though. Or at least a silhouette that might have been him. |

I got two more pictures before my phone died.
A union near the White House sucking up to Trump. And a religious asshole with a megaphone. I hate those guys. Worry about yourself, man. |

I'm glad I had pictures then so people would know what I was going on about.

I had never known what they were called. I just think of them as "those little temporary concrete barrier things, you know, when they do construction, with the little rampy bit at the bottom so you drive up the wall instead of just sideswiping it?"

That rampy bit at the bottom is so your tire hits before your fender.

A little out of their jurisdiction.
They must be in hot pursuit!

As much as I like these pictures you could not pay me enough to go to DC this weekend. Of course my office mate is going because she's pissed off about Trump... As bad as his cabinet looks she's probably right to be preemptively pissed, but I'm going to give it a week or so.
