Turns out my CRS is a symptom of TMB.

Dump trucks loaded with gravel, vehicle barriers I assume.

Yep. They are all over the place. A big national guard truck ran over a woman on a bike in the evening commute. Oops.

I was delayed by half an hour this morning. There were several motorcades going through the neighborhood and they wouldn't let anyone cross the street. So after sitting there for 15 minutes, I noticed pedestrians two blocks down were being allowed to cross, so I backtracked a block, walked down two blocks and came back around a block and was able to get to work. The ironic thing was that they let me across the street right next to the actual motorcades. It was the intersection two blocks away that wouldn't let me cross.

Most of the motorcades went past the handful of protesters. I wonder if the Chinese motorcade took a different route, since these guys were protesting China?

All sorts of cop equipment was being used. If Homeland Security gives you $5 Million to buy a tactical command center truck, you damn well better have it on display.

So, you're one of the K street gang.
