With
last night’s entry mentioning DC a lot of memories came up. I cannot find a picture I wanted to show but
it is the family with President Johnson.
Some of the family was very impressed. There is a slight misconception,
the picture was taken at the Wax Museum. LOL
To
give you an idea when we were there, LBJ was president the first time. I
remember the big Texan getting in trouble with the press back then by pulling
his Hound or Beagle’s ears. The animal rights activists were just beginning big
time. He lifted the dog’s front legs off the ground with his ears. The dog
didn’t seem to mind but the press did (well, they seemed to relish talking
about his ‘cruelty’.)
During our stay there that tour the Very Active
leader of the American Nazi Party was assassinated while doing his laundry at a
coin laundry.
One more incident in the apt. complex Sherry
woke me up one night while I was having a bad dream. I was in IBM repair school
and in my dream I was working on a 407 Accounting Machine, and when I would try
to fix something it would blow up, BAM!
When she finally got me awake she said, someone is shooting! (When
he would shoot, my dream machine would blow up). LOL! A man on the 2nd
or 3rd floor was shooting from his window at anything that moved. He
never hit anyone. A swat team fired tear gas into the room but not after
missing once. Our apt filled with tear gas and we exited the back. He was subdued, no one was injured.
Those were the odd incidents I remember. We
had a great time. The school was excellent, Our first time in the DC area. We climbed the Washington Monument and we got
to visit the Smithsonian(s). Places Every American should get to see.
(Full size rockets, I think a space shuttle and a full size locomotive. These museums are fantastic.)
Funny what can kick in the old memories!

Sounds like you had an exciting time there. Maybe more than you wanted for sure. I've never been there, but there is certainly a lot to see.
I was impressed that the Smithsoinian museums were free. You had interesting times there.

I agree, every young man/woman would benefit from visiting D.C. Nice to hear how y'all enjoyed your *first* time living there.
(Funny, it doesn't seem all that long ago LBJ-and-company were in the White House.)
