Just got back from a little travelin' to our nation's capital. So here's some pictures, although they don't convey the heat and humidity. First, the view of Thomas Square from my hotel room. Evidently Seattle isn't the only city eternally under construction. Each morning I walked about 6 blocks to the DC Convention Center, pictured here: It's the fancy building on the right, not the shooting gallery on the left. I know you can't read the graffiti on the wall, so I'll help you out. It says, "Your dead". Which do I find more disturbing, the blatant threat, or the poor grammar? Let's go with the former. Really, I had a great time in DC! They have so many fabulous things to delight and amuse, including many varieties of squirrels! There's the black and skittish (therefore difficult to photograph): And the white and aggressive (therefore easier to photograph): And yes, I was scared this little guy was going to jump off the branch and straight into my hair. We screeched at each other for a while, and then called a wary truce. More to come...
