Neat thread! I love the combination of photos and narrative.

 

Be aware, though, that when they see the forbidden photos and come to get you, UO policy does not include posting bail. Individual forumers may elect on their own to send care packages containing fresh socks and underwear, and maybe cookies. Do you like chocolate chips?

 

:wink:

Yes I do, thank you Robert!

Well done!

Very nice! It's been far to long since I visited our nations capital. My business doesn't take me there... unless I get caught. :wink:

Wow, I didn't know the subway under the capitol actually existed! Where does it go?

If I told you, I'd be forced to kill you.  :wink:

 

Just from end to end of the building I think.

Finished strong with The Postal Service... very nice!

The underground subway at the Capital consists of three lines: two on the Senate side on the north side of the Capitol, and one on the House side on the south side of the Capitol.  Theres a map below that shows the different lines. 

2 lines go from the Senate side of the Capital to the 3 Senate Office buildings.  The House side only has one, going to Rayburn House office building.  Then there is also an underground walkway going from the Capital to the Cannon house office building. 

Finished strong with The Postal Service... very nice!

I'm glad somebody caught that!

this thread is a heck of a lot of fun -- thank you. i miss that warm weather!

Love that city!

Love the comments.  But when did they add water to the reflecting pool?  I feel cheated.
