Knowing that "Funky Cold Medina" was one of two hits by Tone Loc does not make me an expert on 80's Hip-hop music.

-Wonder why my "Check Engine" light was sometimes on and sometimes not.
-Wonder if Bob knows what those round reflecty things are atop the handlebar.
-Wonder if I'll drop my bike on a slow right turn.
-Wonder if Mickey knows how loud his sneezes, coughs, and sound effects are through the Bluetooth communicators.

Wow. Of all the things ive done on a motorcycle riding inner city DC at night is not one of them. That traffic mustbe brutal

I was amazed at the number of people there out at night

Maybe not so oddly given where I grew up and live, I was amazed at how few people were out there at night.

The traffic within the District was comparable to any city at night - not heavy, in my opinion and certainly not "brutal". In fact, even the "Beltway" traffic was pretty light that night. I will say that navigating the diagonal and curved streets within the District is challenging enough during daylight in a car, let alone at night on two wheels.

We didn't have the opportunity to visit the memorials up close. I have had the opportunity to do that a few times in my life and find it very inspiring. Visitors have to make a choice - To read the words of our forefathers and be saddened by how far we yet have to go to achieve the ideals set forth in those quotes or to be uplifted by how far we have come already and to be inspired to continue that quest for a " more perfect union".
