As the snow melts from the roads in Minneapolis, I think back on my bicycle commute in DC: home, then in order past: CostCo, DEA HQ, Pentagon, National 9-11 Pentagon Memorial (pace MTG), Pentagon helipad, Arlington Cemetery, through Lady Bird Johnson Park, over Arlington Memorial Bridge, around the south side of the Lincoln Memorial, past Lincoln's gaze next to the Reflecting Pool (yes, the Official bike path runs right through the tourists), skirt the Vietnam Wall, a wave to Albert Einstein's statute hidden in the copse near the National Academy of Sciences, lock my bike, in through the “Joggers' Entrance” of the Harry S Truman building, and in to my office, a quick peak out through the blinds at the Washington Monument before settling into work.
