An Ordinary Day at Work & Play
Below - Path to Potomac from NDU. Notice the red oaks on one side and the laurel oaks on the other.
I have to leave before 0700 to get to the task force by 0800. NDU is about a fifteen minute walk from the Waterside Mall stop or around a half hour from Federal Center. I prefer to walk to Federal Center. That way I don’t have to change trains. I like the walk, although according to the Washington Post the area near Waterside Mall is not a safe area. I don’t intend to change anyway, so I don’t suppose I need to look into it any further.
Below is the escalator to my Metro stop. The etiquette is that people stand to the left and walk to the right. I like to guess who will stand and who will walk. I believe my record is good. I admit that I might have confirmation bias, but you can often predict by body type. Tourists also tend not to walk, but I think they just don’t know the local custom.
Below is my Gold’s Gym. I used to go there three times a week, but I still have not renewed my membership. Tomorrow. Gold's Gym is simpler and cheaper than some others. My kind of place.
The walk along the Potomac from the Metro to NDU is a little out of the way, but it is nice.
In the evening, Chrissy and I went to a zoning meeting. They are talking about raising the density of the lots on both sides of our townhouse complex. Some of the buildings could be as high as 115 feet. We will be like a canyon between all these buildings. But density makes sense near the Metro. It is good to see all the citizens involved in their communities. Although some of the same people make the same comments and complaints.
