Still photo of plane from video
“Dear PoPville,
Yesterday (Saturday Sept 27) around noon, a Navy plane was flying low circles over Columbia Heights, Shaw, and further southeast of us. My boyfriend, a former Army Ranger, spotted several objects– possibly parachuters?– dropped out of the plane down in the Capitol’s direction from where we are in Columbia Heights. The plane continued to circle a few more times before gaining altitude.
I’ve video of it (In the sky over the tree, you can see a few white glistening lines that the camera tried to focus on but couldn’t catch. Also shows the Navy plane circling over.), but my iPhone wasn’t as up to the task and it’s not very clear. I’ve been waiting to see if someone is going to write about it, but both the Post and the DC blogs don’t have anything yet.
So what’s the deal? Were the Marines having a bit of fun practicing a new response in the field? Think they could let us know? To the few residents paying attention enough, seeing a military plane drop objects over the capital can be mildly alarming.”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
