Overheard in D.C.: Everything Revolves Around Me

It's starting to be winter, finally, after a long Indian summer of warm days and little rainfall. But lately it's been chillier and drizzlier and crummier outside.

Today they added to their act six or seven minivans and cars, all parked illegally in front of the George Washington University Hospital.
