At Pentagon City Fashion Center, eating some rather mushy tempura.

The double hyphen trains — are they out of service? Is it a sign malfunction? Is it blue or orange or yellow or green? It is a profound Metro mystery.

Recent Photos in DCist and Express
Two photos of mine recently got passing mentions in two major DC weblogs last week: “Monument and Moon” in an “About Tonight” entry on DCist and a link to “Metro Warp” in an Express post about Ron Paul and public transportation. Thank you to both for noticing. You really like me!

Metro Warp
I’ve been wanting to get a long-exposure Metro photo like this for years, and I finally got my chance on the way home from Roosevelt Island on Saturday. If you look at the trail left by the LCD sign you can see its refresh frequency.
Between Summer and Fall on Roosevelt Island
Amy and I went to the M Street Southwest DMV Saturday morning, and had a much easier time there than we’d had at the Georgetown DMV the previous day. Afterward we went on a little hike around Theodore Roosevelt Island. Months of drought had left the soil dry, and the tide was very low, so there was a pervasive stink of mud around the weed-clogged river, and the marsh was reduced to a virtual trickle over a mess of old, soaked, broken branches. That, plus the cool, breezy, sunny day, gave a true in-between feel to the seasons.

All done at the DMV, yay. Having lunch now at Jackey Cafe in Chinatown. This is a lobster. Yum.
