Suspicious Activity...

I've been enjoying the new shorter route to work -- I get to work in 20 minutes. However, today, as I came near the Pentagon, I saw police cars that were blocking various entrances to the Pentagon, and police were standing near the entrances, checking license plates, etc. (The picture shown here is of police and a bomb squad unit). I stopped to ask if I could go on the bike path, but they said they weren't allowing any traffic through at all. I asked what was up, and the police said, "Suspicious activity." He started to tell me how to get around it, but I told him I knew how and I rode off. The problem was that the extra 20 minutes that my new commute saves me, is how much extra it was going to take me to get to work now, since I had to take my old route. So it was a RACE to get to work on time, and I just made it, clocking in right on time. Whew! Car commuters though, had a much harder time, because three major roads were closed, severely limiting their options, and gridlocking traffic. So I'm glad I at least could get to work on time. :)
