Dulles airport has 'mobile lounges' instead of a tram system. 'Mobile lounge' is just about exactly what it sounds like, only goofier. A very wide, very tall bus that drives on the tarmac between terminals. According to the recorded announcement, one of the advantages to such a system is that it allows travelers to see a variety of aircraft during the trip. We were warned that there would be a slight delay for the docking procedure. It didn't say rather or not they used the Russian Kurs system for that.

Timezones suck. I got 2 hours of sleep last year.
I saw two assholey-acting, diplomatic-plated cars today. Maybe it really is as common as the mass media would have me believe. Also, people actually honk at traffic here. I still don't understand that.
The FBI building is one the ugliest buildings I've ever seen.
Apparently I look safe-yet-competent even in a strange city. While I was walking up Virginia avenue someone pulled over to ask for directions -- and I knew the answer.
The exhibit hall of the National Archives is closed for remodeling. I am deeply disappointed. The Constitution and The Bill of Rights are some of the few things that make me feel patriotic.
The temperature was fine, but it was really, really wet. I could either wear my coat and be at a comfortable temperature, yet sweaty, or I could take it off and not sweat, but be cold. I don't know where DC gets off being so humid. It isn't like it's next to a real ocean or anything.
