For those of you coming to visit the DC area for one reason or another, a bit of local color:
A group calling itself the Chesapeake Club has started an ad campaign to save the Chesapeake Bay. Their slogan:
Save the Crabs ... Then Eat 'EmThe Post reports on the campaign, and mentions that a lot of the crabs we eat in this area aren't from the Chesapeake anymore, but imported from elsewhere. (Phillips, a local haven for crabs and crab cakes, has been selling crabs from Thailand for years. That's like going to Philly for cheesesteaks and finding out they're made from tofu...)
ObPerl: crabs are tastier with a nice amber beer. :-)
ObEcology: Save the Crabs. Eat Lobster. :-)
