An expert in psychology might possibly tell you if you are “normal”…or just next to it.

My daughter and I were enjoying determining what we passed was engineering versus what was biology or chemistry on our ride to the National Mall. She pointed out a sign that shows that humans are not the only engineers:

I’m so curious about who it was that surprised me when I was photographing the book I dropped off (“Milton the early riser”) at the little Free Library on 4th and Evarts NE and asked, “Freezing Saddles?”

I was going to drop off more books since the library was completely empty when I first spotted it several days ago, but now it is magically near full. I borrowed “Ozma of Oz” for my daughter.

Riding past this sign I thought of the people who use computer science and mathematics to beat the lottery. E.g. http://archive.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2011/07/31/a_lottery_game_with_a_windfall_for_a_knowing_few/?page=full

The Earth Conservation Corps shares an understanding and appreciation of biology.

KidSnowLeopard and I checked out the empty Little Free Library outside Capitol Hill Day School but unfortunately didn’t have any books with us today to add.

I wonder how accurate these measurements are and if anyone was tempted to add a kilometers conversion.

The Zero Milestone, located on the Ellipse in front of the White House, is a zero mile marker monument intended as the initial milestone from which all road distances in the United States should be measured when it was built.

How come I never noticed that?
I’m excited to check that out and also do a fossil bike tour of DC with the resources posted from yesterday!

Little Free Library in front of the Aquatic Resources Education Center on the Anacostia River Trail #withkidSnowLeopard and #withkidPuppy, no middle grade reads for them or much at all. Could use aquatic science books for all ages!

Dropped off a kids book containing panda poems at this Little Free Library across the street from Capitol Hill sport & health on G St SE. Could use more for the kids.

I also went to Capitalsaurus Court this morning, pausing also to snap a few shots of Congressional buildings since people keep saying Congress is full of dinosaurs. Maybe a paleontologist can sort out that mess.

I do love how it was school children who lobbied to give DC it’s own official dinosaur and name a street after it! I wonder if there’s still more dinosaur bones under the park there…

Little Free Library 2 and W NW DC. Contains “Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs” but not much for the kids.
