One of my recent trips to Washington, DC was during the government shutdown. It was eerie how empty the streets were.
I had experienced this once before, during COVID, both times there was a sense of finding oneself in a post-apocalyptic world where you are one of the few people who has survived.
Though unsettling, I will admit there was a feeling of peace in that the division and insanity currently infecting our country had no choice but to slow down . . . at least for a short time.
My first encounter with deserted streets in our nation’s capital was because of a modern plague.
And this time, there was a brief relief from one.
