The National Cathedral on the right and ... what's that on the left? I know it looks like the Capitol, but I'm 99% sure it's not. This DC skyline photo was taken from Adams Morgan, near the National Zoo.

A bull made out of Red Bull cans at La Tasca in Arlington. Of the six or seven kinds of Sangria on La Tasca's menu, I've tried three, and they were all delicious ... and I still have some work ahead of me!

Anti-abortion protestors on Vermont Avenue today. Their signs say, "Justice for All: Born and Preborn".

Update: Now that I'm back at my computer, I had a chance to research this group. They're the youth of American Life League, probably still mobilized from a 1,300 mile "Crusade for Life" walk to the Supreme Court on Tuesday. Personally, these people really creep me out. Particularly the tagline on every page of their website: "PRO-LIFE: without exception, without compromise, without apology." No exception, no compromise? How productive.

Why not have your hair done by the hair unik?

An obese restaurant. Ha ha.

I am very sad to finish this delicious box of chocolate I bought in Xanthi, Greece.

A seriously expensive belgian ale I'm gonna drink.

A better shot of Shrimpi. He's the red dot.

This is Shrimpi, my pet shrimp. He lives in an Eco-Sphere.
