Tragic day in Washington, both for a homeless man and a high profile media figure.

Some days in Washington are light and relaxing and some days are a bit more tragic. Today was the latter, as I started with a call for a homeless man who passed away in a camp. Later a call came in for someone who jumped off a bridge in NW, which later turned out to be a New York Times political reporter named Blake Hounshell.

Rest in peace to both of them.

If you need help, please call the suicide hotline at 988. New nationwide phone number is 988

Show not Tell.

PenguinSix is an apolitical guy in a political town who likes to walk a lot. He has hiked over 17,000 miles (27,000kms) in the past six years and is still walking today. He is an American expat who spent the last decade in Hong Kong with his family and is now back in Washington DC, continuing his daily ritual of taking very long hikes around the city catching the sights and sounds of the city while live streaming to share with others. History, culture, life as an expat (with reverse culture shock), and the pitiful Chinese food in Washington DC are regular topics of discussion.
