DC Highlights

1. The Supreme Court Building, a white marble building like all the others, has a pine deck out back. Not sure if Souter likes to grill or if it came with the new Bush appointees.

2. Don't try and film the OUTSIDE of the Holocaust museum. Security will be on you in seconds.

3. The last time I was in DC (late nineties or early noughts, somewhere in there), there were no protesters to be found. Now we got some guy saying "troops out now", somebody protesting immigration (I think so anyway, couldn't read the sign), someone asking if we ever found the WMD's, etc. "Generic Left-Wing Protesters", as Briggsy would put it. Quite a few people out there are unhappy about the way things are going apparently.

4. They had a book fair going on the mall. Saw some ladies carrying yellow "Hot Librarian Chicks 4 Smiff" bags.

5. Corporal moving? Stay tuned...

6. The FDR Memorial has this hyooooge brick that has the words "I HATE" on it. You have to get real close to see the "WAR" brick that completes the phrase. Offered without comment.

7. Speaking of war, you could watch a movie on "The War" on a hyooooge (there's that word again) jumbotron across the street from the dubya dubya too memorial (that's the war they mean). Not sure how the kids would handle dat...

8. Da transit dat works. Dey tell you how long it will be until da train arrives on a nice screen. Unlike da CTA, with dere schedules written on a board dat dey don't follow.

9. Number of texts from Sarge - 1. Number of emails from Sarge - 1. Number of appearances by Sarge - 0. How is a (formerly) homeless man 4-0 in our football league?

10. Big Shout Out to Briggsy, our gracious host over the weekend. He took us to his hyoooge fancy house out in the burbs, and then kept us in the basement. Hyoooge basement.

If yous aint asleep by now, I's done now...
