Yesterday I took a detour on the way to finish up my taxes and went down to Freedom Plaza to check out the D.C. Voting Rights March. It was the first march I'd ever "participated" in (although honestly, I just went for the photo op - I live in Virginia) and I was a little underwhelmed by the whole experience. The tremendously crappy weather had a lot to do with it. Like much of the Northeast, it was windy, rainy and very cold. After sitting in the rain for two hours Saturday at RFK and then braving it again Sunday to go to the Wizards game, I can safely say I am now done braving the rain for blog purposes for the immediate future. But I digress...The march and rally were supposed to last two hours, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., but they started early and were apparently done by 3:30. I was sick of freezing my ass off and took off around 3 o'clock, just after the rally started.

Here are a few more photos if you're interested.
