Good weather is back providing ample opportunity to enjoy down time outside. Traffic can be a nightmare on Fridays, this Friday I bailed out and headed downtown to pull up a piece of Potomac River shore front.

I prepped for this evening by visiting Chipotle and my Virginia tobacconist for carry out snacks (yes I have a Maryland tobacconist too). With dinner, a cigar, and my MP3 player I was good to go for hours.

The sunset fizzled out just as it was about to get good as clouds rolled in. But no worries, the temperature was 85 degrees so I sat in the warm breeze and listened to music until after dark leaning on that tree. Within eyesight of my chosen position were, Arlington cemetery, Lincoln Memorial, Air Force Memorial, Washington Monument, and several Potomac River bridges. A very good spot despite the photo ops being slim this night.
