John,

You're referring, I believe, to the I-95 Richmond to DC Parking Lot?

My hard luck that while serving in the Army my assignments were either
OCONUS or DC. Depite frequent whines to my AO it always turned out that
way. I remember the commutes waaaay too well.

If I could have foreseen the future I'd have bought a home there to return
to and made a tidy profit upon retirement. Ultimately I cashed in all my
blue chips for a final assignment to South Alabama where we bought a home
and were able to build a little equity before retiring a couple of years
later.

The only thing I miss about the area is the Annapolis Power Boat Show and
the Smithsonian.

Because not all stupid people are limited to I-95 between Richmond and
Washington, DC!

Yes, that is the parking lot to which I refer. What a mess.

I was an Engineer who had a secondary specialty in OR/SA. I should never have
allowed that to happen, but I did. Once I started my first job in that arena, I
could never get out, so I kept coming back to DC (which is where about 90% of
the OR/SA jobs are). I tried for over 25 years to get to Ft. Lewis, but the
closest I got was Los Angeles for a two year stint with the Reserves and
National Guard.
