DC is befuddling...

Sorry I haven't written--I started a new job and was generally freaking out about not having housing, etc. Still don't--but I just would like to start making a list of things about DC and Northern Virginia that are just befuddling to me:

1. How can I pass Lee Highway exits THREE times while staying on the same road? What kind of highway twists and turns like a snake around HW 66?!

2. How can a city with a billion cars not have a better highway system? I suppose they were just WAY ahead of their time--punishing gas guzzling drivers for not using the metro before it was even cool. 

more to come later I'm sure
