Random Commuter Observations
Even though it's a snowy, rainy, nasty morning here in Dee Cee, a sure sign of the advent of spring is the return of the Tourons. In this case, it's bus-loads of seedy teenagers from Iowa lining up milling around outside the ESPNZone and Hard Rock Cafe on my line of march to the office.
I don't actually know that they're from Iowa (state motto: Gateway to Nebraska). In fact, they probably aren't. But every time I see a tour bus, I just assume that's where it's from.

I will await your choice of weapons. Since llamas have no opposable thumbs, I'm assuming that pistols at 20 paces are right out.
PS - If they were milling about helplessly, they were probably from either Northern Missouri or Southern Minnesota. Both those regions are notorious breeding grounds for slackjawed troglodytes. Iowa teenagers would have at least milled around with some vague sense of organization.
