Today, I met the Chair of our DEC at a Congressman’s Office. I can tell you more about the visit at a later time.
The only other Congressman I saw was Steve King. I almost..almost.. talked to him, but he was with an aide heading into an elevator and we didn’t really know where we were going.
Afterwards, I went out to to the U.S. National Arboretum. I saw the Bonsai collection, a few azaleas (though their time has passed), and the Capitol columns. The Arboretum is a a tough place to find. I had to use the metro and then, I Ubered the rest of the way. The columns kinda look like Greece. I guess they should as they are Corinthian columns that once were part of the Capitol until 1958. Now, the Arboretum stores them there. I also walked through a fern area.
I didn’t stay too long and I made it to the airport pretty early. Prior to arriving at the airport, I found out that my 7:00 p.m. flight had been delayed. I arrived at the airport around 3 p.m. I saw that the Orlando JetBlue flight prior to mine was delayed too until 3:30 p.m. I made it through security, went to that gate, and asked the agent if I could take that flight instead. He said that it would be no problem. I asked if I could run and get some food, but I said I didn’t need to if I would miss the flight. He let me. I got falafel, french fries, and a drink and ran back as everyone was boarding. Once on board, I realized the agent had upgraded me to an extra space seat which was a nice surprise. Anyways, I made it home around 6 p.m. instead of closer to 10 p.m.
