Springtime for Dee Cee Watch

Just took a walk down 7th Street across the National Mall and back.

This is the kind of weather that makes Your Nation's Capital worth it all. An enormous blue sky, temperatures in the low 60's and a brisk northwest wind to keep it fresh.

Indeed, it's so pleasant out that even the sight of goofy tourons taking pictures of each other pretending to hold up the Washington Monument (in the distance behind them) provoked nothing but a tolerant smile from me.

Of course, it's all fleeting - come July, such displays invariably awake in me the urge to put such people to the sword. But it's awfully nice while it lasts.
