Thursday, 2 July 2009- It’s Almost Like Day Camping
After work, I returned to Seneca Creek and Clopper Lake. I stretched out my sleeping mat in the same area that I found yesterday. This time, I had ants invading my space, or perhaps more accurately, I was invading their space. It made it difficult to sleep. I was in the mood to go to a new place for dinner so I sent out a tweet which was answered by the Savvy Navigator. He recommended Ben’s Chili Bowl. Another reason I wanted to eat somewhere other than TGI Fridays was that it began closing at 8:30 pm. It was already getting late. I went to the storage unit to get my laptop and then headed to the U Street Metro Station for dinner. I had a half smoke (Bill Cosby’s favorite).
Afterwards, I looked for a bar. I picked Solly’s. They didn’t have Blue Moon in a bottle or any other form. When I asked what was available in a bottle, the bartender pointed to a dark corner 15 feet above me and about 30 feet away per my line of sight and walked away. He wasn’t gaining any points in my book as a new user friendly bartender. It made me wish I was at BWI’s bar. That bartender, I think Jeff was his name, was nice and social. I decided upon a Guinness that wound up being Draught- not as good as Stout.
