Visiting my son in London and he told me to look out for foxes. Thought he was joking, but this guy came right up to me to gnaw on some garbage he found on the sidewalk.

Three former members of the National Capital Planning Commision "told The Washington Post that a review of any exterior construction project at the White House is required by federal law." Reviews of smaller projects at the White House have taken years in the past.
