This morning my bus hit a bit of traffic on K Street due to Franklin Park (13th and New York Ave.) being completely blocked off. I de-bussed and walked the rest of the way to my office, slightly concerned by all of the police surrounding the empty, caution-taped park. Turns out it was a suspicious package - but no worries....it was just a package of clothes chained to a tree. Obviously. I mean I always keep a chain handy to ditch those extra clothes that I happen to be carrying around in the middle of the night by chaining them to a tree...
Also, at dinner on Sunday my friends and I were discussing the NPR intern that was stabbed in Chinatown last Wednesday. We obviously had all heard various rumors because none of our stories lined up. So here are some research facts: The intern was stabbed four times on the corner of 7th and I at 9:30 a.m. last Wednesday. A 24-year-old woman has been charged with assault with intent to kill and aggravated assault while armed for the attack that was apparently "totally unprovoked." The attacker has a history of mental illness and apparently stopped taking her medication about a month ago. Thankfully the intern is alive (despite what one of my friends heard). Though I'm sure she isn't to enthusiastic about returning to D.C. in the future.
