Its worse than cicadas.... its tourists

So I'm finally back in town and not on the road. My first day back in the office was yesterday. My fiance had to do something at work early so I had the pleasure of riding the bus and the train both to work and home again. The bus rides are never bad. Mostly because its full of locals and I think tourists are afraid of riding the bus. That being said, the Metro was full of tourists and commuters at 8:30 this morning.

I have decided that tourists and commuters are like oil and water. Try as you may to shake them up and get them to mix, in the end they separate and go their own way. Its still early in tourist season so commuters are still a bit polite and tourists haven't taken over the city like a swarm of cicadas. But unlike cicadas, tourists don't visit for 2 weeks then die, they keep coming back. More and more of them. From now until what feels like Labor Day.

My saving grace for yesterday was that the A/C worked in my Metro car.

My saving grace for today was that the A/C worked and the other commuters wore deodorant today.
