BTW, there's not much to see through my eyes. I do most of my seeing through my mouth, which is usually open, and dripping a little.

Hey, this is starting to sound like a "plan"... (-: And if you make it up this way, I shall take you out in my "magic canoe"... perhaps to a place where the waterlilies grow by the thousands in a cove the size of a football field... never fails to blow my "canoe guests" away...;-}>

I've seen the Smithsonian many, many times, having grown up in DC, as did Lather, and Michael Cummings, I believe. They were still using the red castle as an exhibit hall when I lived there. But I would always like to see the museums again. I rode my bicycle up the C&O Canal towpath to Harper's Ferry the last summer I lived in Arlington. I like that town. That country around Harper's Ferry is the ancestral home of the Washington family, and there's still a few big homes there belonging to them. When John Brown took hostages at the arsenal in 1859 one of them was George Washington's nephew. As Col Robert E Lee brought the Marines up to storm the building old Washington shouted something like "Don't worry about us! Come in and shoot them all!!" Lee's impression of that was that the old revolutionary blood would always reveal itself... Lee sent the Marines in without bullets in their rifles in order to prevent the hostages from being harmed.
