Our meeting in D.C. finished early, so we had some time to kill walking around the the city. It's a cool place to sight see, but there's a LOT of walking invovled. Technology has fixed that. You can now take Segway tours of the Washington D.C. Segways are those motorized two-wheel stand up things. Look at me, using my legs like a sucker!

Some random observations about D.C.:
1. The squirrels there have no fear. They will gang up on you and beat you down if they get you alone. No kidding.
2. It's a dull palce to people watch. The people are very plain and dull looking.
3. The E section of the yellow pages is about an inch thick. (hint: Escort services is under E)
4. Lots of people wear suits and ties there. Almost no one in the rest of the world still wear suits and ties
5. They have monuments there built for EVERYTHING imaginable.
6. Washington Dulles airport security is horribly slow and inefficient.
7. You can get great shell-fish in D.C. Especially at Ebbit's Grill during happy hour (4 - 6, 11pm-1am)
8. You can no longer tour the white house.



I drove past the CIA today,which was a big thrill for me for some reason.
