D.C. baby!

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- We left at 10 p.m. under the cover of night and drove straight on through till morn. I highly recommend this for anyone embarking on a road trip in the future. I-95 South opened its lanes to us as we cruised down the Eastern Seaboard (we zipped through the Big Apple in about a New York minute). And when we hit New York Avenue in D.C. at 5 a.m., the city greeted us with a warm and open embrace, its avenues not yet clogged by the impurities of a morning rush hour.


Right now we're holding down my buddy Knox's place while he's at work. Look at the view (above) from his apartment. We could walk to the Nationals' stadium from here. You can see the lit up roof to the right of dead center in this picture. Their tickets are slightly easier to come by than Red Sox seats too, so we might take in a Saturday game.

That's it for now. Unfortunately, not one of D.C.'s homeless thousands jumped on our hood as we rolled into the nation's capitol and Obama is nowhere to be found.

We'll be here until Sunday, however, and it's Cop Week. Those crazy bastards should provide some conversational fodder by then. In the meantime, I need to find an Internet connection to post this. Knox has none...

p.s. Speaking of connections, does anybody know a good place to stop between D.C. and Arkansas? Our South Carolina connect fell through.

...ah nice. I'm sitting at The Dubliner across from the Smithsonian and they have free WiFi. Upload away.
