Which Way is Monticello?



Only in Washington!

I spotted this Thomas Jefferson look-alike as I was leaving the Rayburn Office Building on Wednesday. He was talking to the woman in the photo about his lobbying efforts for something to do with Jefferson. I only overheard the conversation in which he admitted that he had been doing this for a while and had not yet been successful in bringing Jefferson proper recognition he deserved. I asked my cab driver if the appearance of people in colonial garb was unusual and he just smiled. "We see everything here. This is Washington," he told me.

I am on the road again, en route to Florida for a week. I can't promise any more Thomas Jefferson sightings but you never know. I'll keep you posted.
