Washington tweets. A lot. The Washington Tweets column is
a collection of the most interesting, recent Washington-area tweets. These
tweets reveal a candid and fascinating portrait of what is on our collective
minds: Twitter gives a snapshot of what we're doing, thinking and hoping for.
Washington Tweets is Washington in the raw. Washington Tweets is published on
Monday. Bill Adler tweets at @billadler.
What's on our minds is electricity (or lack of) and the
weather. This is a special power outage edition of Washington Tweets.
