This morning's marvelous, merry, meandering, metric with .latoff included a brief detour and stop at the Iwo Jima Marine Corps Memorial. Sure, we have a lot of traffic in the DC area, but we have great cycling (and the cyclists were out, in force, on McArthur Boulevard today)... and MONUMENTS ...and ... MUSEUMS galore! A startlingly gorgeous morning, but it sure felt like summer was over. Gloves? Vest? Long sleeves? Knee warmers? SERIOUSLY?!?!?
