MUTINY

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.

NO MORE.

Four hours waiting in line, eight hours travel time on a bus (2.5 hours of that stuck outside the Lincoln Tunnel)for NINETY MINUTES of actual time at the National Archive and the Observation Deck at the Empire State Building. TOTAL. Don't sit there, move along in line, hurry up, hurry up and wait.

I would say NO some more but I am so tired NOW that I am past Washington's death bed and into some other kind of surreal world, perhaps, oh maybe, HELL?

Plus side: weather was very nice today and I bought a t-shirt with the famous picture of Elvis meeting Nixon on it. I also didn't get killed when a semi nearly sideswiped us. A bunch of other people gasped and yelled, but I was too tired and went, "Oh. Yeah. Truck there."

Now I sit in New Jersey, with the ADULT EMPORIUM next to my hotel. My room smells like cat piss, my feet ache, Mr11 is passed out and begged me to not stand in more lines tomorrow.

Avast ye all, Pirate Mom to the rescue. Arr.
