It's beginning to look a lot...

Seeing as to how we’re creeping up on Samhain, Halloween, el Día de los Muertos and like that, it shouldn’t be surprising that we start to notice, well, creepy things around us.

Outside of Capitol Hill and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, of course. Those bloodsuckers are a year-round presence.

I’ve written in the past how the Valley They Call Silicon takes this particular holiday to heart; so far I’ve not seen a lot of that sort of thing outside of the big box DIY stores. (Although I noticed that one of the houses in my cluster has about as much Halloween décor as you can get in a townhouse front yard the size of a child’s sandbox, so there may be some interesting stuff out there.)

However—this mobile instance is something that seems the perfect symbol for the District They Call Columbia, being Pentagon-adjacent.
