Washington DC
| Washington DC is fun even for blind people.
So the least you can do is sit through this post about my trip to Washington DC. They don't even know I took this picture. |  |
 | Everyone knows that Washington is a power hungry place. But did you know that its thirst for power goes back to before its founding? Apparently George Washington himself, the guy known for being a reluctant president, was greedy for power as well. Just click on the photo on the right for proof of this. |
 |
 | The WWII memorial is a funny piece of work. It took just a few years for the people in Congress to okay it, plan it, finance it, build it and open it. Well just a few years once they figured out they wanted it. Which wouldn't have happened without a guy who used to make his living in a dress (Tom Hanks). Total time for the project was just 5 years. If we can build a very nice looking piece of work like this in 5 years why does it take a month to fill a pot hole? |  |

If you are going to find yourself in DC try to stay at one of the
local hostels. They offer free air conditioning, two sheets, and a
great view. The second picture is taken through the gap in the window
that was our air conditioning. Reminds me of living on Texas St in
San Diego. This place also reminded me of Texas St because of the
tasty looking chips made of lead paint.
But the places are cheap and much safer than going to the really cheap places south of DC. South DC is probably better known as "The Murder Capital of The World". |

 Super huge version behind the click. |
| One of the downsides to this trip was that we didn't have time or money go to into any place. One of the places I would love to have gone into is ths Smithsonian. All twelve buildings of it. Next time. | 
|
| Additionally: We got close to the Pentagon. We got closer than this picture shows but we just couldn't take a picture there without getting shot. | 
|
| We parked under a swamp. | 
|
| Saw where they moved all the American Indians to | 
|
| Got a picture to prove I was there and not intimidated by dicks bigger than me. | 
|
| I didn't cry when I saw the Vietnam Wall. I thought I would since it always has that effect on me but I guess the lack of music and little kids running around ruined the moment. I did manage to say something blasphemous. Didn't mean too. Just sort of happend. | 
|
| Of course the most vital thing to do in DC is check to make sure that they have properly filled their affirmative action quotas. The last picture is one of those plastic covers for sprinklers. Completly destroyed by Squirls gone made in the search for power. |
|
| Why did we go there? Was it to witness the one
thing that all governments are good at: building monuments to itself?
No. We went to a book fair. Well more accurately we went so that some guy named after 5824's least favorite arthropod could sign some books. Everything else just happened to be on the way.
