Drivng along H street in front of Whitehouse today.

We drove around DC today and passed by the WH on H street which is the closest anyone can get to the WH these days. Here are a few shots of the fence on H street.







There were also lots of police cars everywhere. But no issues. It was a different vibe today in DC. People seemed to be upbeat for obvious reasons. There were lots of folks like us driving around and walking around the city just to take in the new feeling of optimism. It was a refreshing and uplifting feeling.

I wonder if the FBI relocation plan is back on the table now that Trump is gone.

I think the only reason it stalled was due to Trump not wanting a big hotel built on the current FBI location that would compete with his hotel and I think also to penalize the FBI for not doing what he wanted. It appeared to be entirely personal. Seems to me with Trump out the picture the plan will get revived.

The contrast between the Capitol just two weeks ago crawling with rioters and now is unreal.

It gives me goosebumps looking at it now. The feeling of dread has passed and now hopeful for the future.

The GA results look good to me so far.

Seems to me Democrats are over performing. I’m cautiously optimistic.
