Werewolves?

Just as dusk fell I thought I saw a gleam in their eyes, and something strange happened to their teeth.

Good afternoon Mr. Vice President

I'm uncertain why, but here is a shot moments ago as the President's Vice President's "Marine 1 2?" left the Leesburg airport. He was in town for a conference where he lectured Iran during his speech. He arrived just before 11AM, and I if I had known I would have a great shot as he flew directly over the house. His motorcade went by and then an hour later returned for his brief flight back to Pennsylvania Ave. If you click on the picture you can see the pilot in the front window. I'm sure I'm on someone watch list now with this picture.
