day tripping

March 12, 2008

Just got back from a day trip to Washington DC ... man I forgot how long that drive was (250 miles each way!). It was great seeing familiar faces.

Some thoughts from the trip:

You know how sharks and remoras live peacefully with one another? I felt like a remora today, as I tailed a tractor trailor going north on 85 at roughly 85mph. I figured the cops would pull the tractor trailer over first, plus I also figured the tractor trailer knew where all the speed traps were.
Washington D.C. has a lot of smart people - I overheard talks about academics and books as I was walking around - something that rarely happens in SD
East coast cities definitely have a different vibe to them. Never noticed it until now

Time to pass out!

You know I'm just joshing you. It sounded like a hit and run trip. How much longer are you going to be in North Carolina, btw? I'm coming down in a week or so, maybe we can make one more cafeteria run.
