    After your meeting you should walk one block north to SCOTUS and join a protest or something.

      Sometimes they give free tours, even when they're supposed to be closed. The rule is, if the door's open, walk on in! Especially if there's a crowd with you!

      Education is extremely important.

        The landing was one of the worst I’ve ever experienced. Aborted once. Massive turbulence.

          Those are some big ass doors. I had a friend who was a cop there who gave us a personal tour one weekend. Really cool... amazing spiral staircase (link) that is self-supported using the cantilevered design, a basketball court ABOVE the court (they joke that the basketball court is truly the 'highest court in the land'), and of course the actual court room in which you're not allowed to take pictures. Spoiler: I took pictures.

            I've been to DC but all I remember was the Lincoln gift shop where the guy behind the counter was an afficionado of the assassination but not so much anything else about Lincoln.

              That is a nice go-around. The wind was from the west (280) at 23 gusting to 35. He landed on runway 1 so the wind on downwind and final l was straight sideways.

                  So if you lose your election you get booted from your office while they get it ready for the next guy. But your staff still has work to do, there are still votes, etc. So they have this area in the basement for you.

                    Ha! Cool.

                    You should ask "Is this the Loser Lobby?"

                              Stupid question. What’s in it for them? Why would one rep or another support or not your efforts?

                                The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
