Traffic was one of the biggest factors in getting me on midnights for
the last 11 years I lived there. At least when I topped that hill the
line of slowed to stopped cars was coming towards me and I was doing
some illegal speed going the other way.

I take the commuter bus when I go into DC. About an hour, the driver
deals with the hassles, and it only costs $3.75 each way. The bus route
in DC stops at a number of places, starting with the Library of Congress
and ending up at the end of K Street, nearest Georgetown. Seven buses
each way from early to late rush.

I used to drive home through town if I found myself at GEICO or
somewhere else inside the beltway.

I enjoyed a nice walk on Haines Point or through the Smithsonian as a
way to decompress after a hard night. I pretty much stayed south of
Independence Avenue.
I missed "Palm 90" by about 15 minutes or you might have seen me in
TV. I drove right by there. It was on TV when I got home.
I had 4 boat cushions, 50 feet of rope and a wool blanket in my truck
that might have been of some help.

A quick nine holes at Haines Point would have been just the ticket.
