Baked Alaska


I hopped in a cab at Reagan National Airport last week on my way home from a business trip. I told the driver my address and the best route--right off Alaska Ave. He turned around and said “No way, I don’t go that way.” I thought “what the F?, taxis have to drive you anywhere in DC from the airport." I asked him why not. He said “I don’t want to go anywhere near Palin territory.” We both laughed, and I gave him a big tip at the end.

Amazing! I once had a DC taxi driver give me a really detailed cultural history of Columbia Heights on my way home.

Glad to see your artistic flair is back ;-)
