Where there's smoke...

Driving accross the Wilson Bridge on Sunday, I noticed a column of dark smoke rising up from the DC skyline. Immediately I turned on 1500am, the local 24 hour news channel to see if something bad was going down. No news about anything. By the time we were driving past the Naval Research Lab heading north, accross the Anacostia river from the city, there was no smoke visible anywhere. No clue what caused the smoke. Couldn't find anything on local news about it.

It's a different world we live in now. Prior to 9/11, one would assume that it was just a fire. But now, smoke over DC looks ominous.
