Tbe 5 weeks of training was a blur. We covered all of the equipment we are going to see in the field, mostly with hands on with labs. The greater Washington DC area is kinda crazy. Very expensive. Folks there seem to like it ok, but is very different from Texas. I did visit some of the sites in DC which was good to do. I was sad to see they permanently took down the Declaration of Independence document from the collection at the National Archives building. The Library of Congress was my favorite building, in terms of Art and Architecture. It was very well done.

This morning I'm leaving Memphis for back to Austin. Kinda of a long drive yesterday from Virginina down to here, 15 hours or so. It's going to be very nice betting back to things that are normal again, at least for a short while.
