Closed library, open wifi
Originally uploaded by Don Whiteside
Just because the library is closed is no reason not to get your internet on, right? I saw this fellow sitting outside the Crystal City library one night – long after closing – when I came by to put a book in the night drop.
Don: Well I used to say something in my profile about not quite being a "tinker, tailor, soldier, or spy" but Tom stole that for our about us page, so I guess I'll have to find another way to express that I am a man of many interests. Hmm, guess I just did. My tastes run the gamut from sophomoric to Shakespeare and in my "professional" life I've sold things, served beer, written software, and carried heavy objects... sometimes at the same place. It's that range of loves and activities that makes it so easy for me to love DC - we've got it all.
