The Memorial Bridge Is Not Your Personal Pickup Zone

Some joker, with Virginia license plate XHW-6575, decided to park on the Arlington Memorial Bridge to pick up a female companion. I did not start recording as soon as he stopped because I thought he was having car trouble. Started recording as soon as I figured out he was using the bridge as a passenger pickup point.  Not sure if either of them are associated with the 10.2 'march'.

Not the best video, due to me being a little slow on the draw with the camera.

I was in fairly tight quarters, between two parked cars, in the middle of the block, with perfectly good crossings just yards away to either side of me.

These three guys decided they had to squeeze between me and the cars to cross in the middle of the block. No, not one car away either direction, they walked up the sidewalk to where I was to jaywalk!

I should cease being amazed . . .

I should cease being amazed, but I won't any time soon.

Sitting in a very nice restaurant, at the bar, for about three hours I have had:

Several people come in, sit close to me and my smouldering cigarette, pick up the large paper menus and "waft" my smoke away. No shortage of seating in non-smoking, father down the bar, at tables in the same area, or in the non-smoking establishments of Ted's Montana Grill and Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.

A party of four who seemed to think the stools are bolted to the floor, who had to "butt" some guy right against me, while there was plenty of room to their left.

A group of women behind me, who decided the one of the greatest girth had to sit in the aisle right behind me, so everybody passing had to climb my back.

Positive note, Suki IV is in final edit. Wrote "The End" over an hour ago.
