an expensive trip to the bookstore

No SCOTUS for me this morning, I stayed in bed instead.  Went in search of the Uzbek embassy but chickened out about walking up to the door and pushing the buzzer.

The embassies are grouped around Dupont Circle, and I had a good wander around there.  Stopped into the National Geographic Society building, just to see what I could see.  Eventually I found my way to a bookstore I had read about-turning the afternoon into an expedition in search of yet more treasures.  I shall have to buy a rollie.
