More Travel!
Posted by Derek
Posting will be irregular this week - I'm off traveling again, this time in the Washington, DC area. (This hasn't been the single most scientifically productive April I've ever had, unfortunately). I do hope to get some posts up, but not today - whatever news is happening, I'll catch up on it for tomorrow!

Now it's time for DC travel tips! I spent all of 36 hours in the DC area -- I can't really recommend anything other than seeing the plaque commemorating Officer Leslie Coffelt, who died defending President Truman during an assassination attempt outside of Blair House.

And I have lived there for over three years, some time ago (longer than I care to remember). For a meal, Adams Morgan is still the place to go, and beers before in The Brickskeller (http://www.lovethebeer.com/brickskeller.html)

Go to the Smithsonian Castle and become a member ($20 or so). Sign up for the early morning members-only tour behind the scenes.
Go see Julia Child's kitchen in the M of Am History. Have some Goldfish and red wine in memory.
In the same building, go see the Star-Spangled original Banner and wonder at the casual way its caretakers would haul it out every once in a while and carve pieces off it for keepsakes for friends and passersby.
Go to the Nat Bot Garden and see the little wing filled with medicinal plants. Wash hands after rubbing all the leaves as you go by.

Um, what?

It sure looks like spam to me. Either that, or someone has come rather unhinged. The presence of the URL makes me think it's just another drug spammer, though.
While the pain of finding medicines may someday end, the pain of spammers (and the stupid that enables them) is unlikely to do so.
