Today was my midpoint. It is a lovely political reality that a cross country road trip can focus on deeply conservative states in one direction and a neatly aligned set of swing states in the other. Today I spent my transition day in Washington DC.

Lots has changed in the last 4 years, but without question my favorite is the addition of the new Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture.

Just outside of Washington DC, I happened upon a group of motorcyclists en route to Philadelphia. These guys were having a blast and I just could not resist,
