Lost Kayak? – Acadia DC 3128 N
Originally uploaded by brownpau
Did someone lose a kayak on the Potomac River recently? I just spotted this one floating downstream beside Washinton Harbour this morning, “Acadia DC 3128 N.” If it didn’t get stuck there I expect it might be down at Kennedy Center by now.

Used to live in a cardboard box at 16th and K but the rent was too expensive.

What’s creepy about this post is that a body was found floating in the Potomac River this morning near Alexandra. http://www.wusa9.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=83898&catid=187
