Friday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

Almost every weekday morning for eight years, at right around 8:00 a.m., I'd hear Dick Cheney's motorcade roar down Connecticut Avenue. A lot of times, he would go by in the afternoon when I was out walking the dog. Cheney was a very ugly constant presence.
