The Sturdy Nurse and I are currently touring Washington, DC. Already I have two sightings. More will be added as events warrant.
Day 1...
1. After an abundant and filling, but tasteless, lunch in Chinatown, we were heading back to the museums. En route, we passed a stage set up on the sidewalk, from which several Black men were haranguing passersby about the importance of rising up against the white devil.
Which meant me. One leveled a finger at me and went into hyperdrive, screaming about the white devil. I thought that was just plain nice of him, though. It's been years since anyone called me that.
2. After a busy day of sightseeing (the International Spy Museum, National Building Museum, and the National Crime and Punishment Museum, plus Chinatown), we were heading back to our hotel on the subway. Everyone got on and the train was just about to head off when someone on the platform threw a full cup of coffee through the doors to splash all over the floor. Why? God knows.
I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!
