Washington, dc

13-15 May 2005

As I walked off the plane at DCA I took this picture, and an airport employee immediately told me to put away the camera and not take any more shots out that window because of security concerns.

I suppose this shot of Union Station is also a security breach.

As we know, once computers are involved, mistakes go away.

This was a fun game.

Sadly, the computer never put in extra segments or needless transcons.

As they say, it's possible to beat the computer and find a shorter route - but it's much more profitable and fun to beat the computer and find a longer route.
