Constant entertainment...for free

I think I'm gonna keep a running list of the bizarre people I see on the street every day in DC. (You inspired me to do this tonight, T...not because you're bizarre, but because we talked about it.) Feel free to add yur own in the comments section! (obviously some of you feel freer than others...T!)

[at 9th and Penn] a lady with hiking/skiing poles, just walking along the sidewalk and using them to help her hike the sites

[by the Washington Monument] a guy riding a bike that was three times as tall as any person walking by, like a clown...how did he even get up on the seat, let alone keep his balance?

[at 7th and Indiana] a perfectly normal college-aged guy in t-shirt and jeans quoting Hamlet's soliloque (or something Shakespeare) with drama and passion, to no one

[walking up 7th to the Chinatown metro] one of those Vikings from the Capital One commercials...I'm seeeerious

I think the woman with the poles is doing what is now known as trekking. There was a whole article about it in the "wonderful" magazine my gym sends me. I think it's pretty funny, but hey, whatever gives someone the motivation to exercise is a good thing. Expect to see more of 'em.
