#Introduction

I'm mostly retired now after careers in strategic communications and public affairs with the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Department of Defense, a U.S. intelligence agency, and a major U.S. defense contractor. I read a lot of news and lurk more than I post.

These days I spend time supporting and advocating for public libraries, and my wife and I enjoy biking on rail trails and canal towpaths. I have often shared photos from our various bike trips.

I live mostly in Northern Virginia but spend a fair amount of time in California.

@Photoist WHo knew? I thought #towpaths existed in the UK. I enjoyed watching: "Cruising the Cut" https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6SNxiLzSlh8e0yjndE9o_A
CruisingTheCut

Cruising The Cut is about the historic canals of Britain. I (David Johns) quit my job in 2015, sold my house and went to live on a narrowboat. Initially videos of my travels, I now document various aspects of canal life.
