Herring, Loogy and JustHate seem to feed off or on each other. Loogy is just a tool, and JustHate keeps tripping over himself and his ignorance, but of the three, Herring seems the lowest on the evolutionary scale. Fortunately, he is easy to filter out. |

Eisboch Well, you probably will need a union ID. That's what the unions do during legislative meetings...you can't get in without some sort of appropriate ID...but with two million souls on the mall, it could easily get out of hand! :) Being the 56,723rd person to climb into a porti-potty on the mall is a scary thought. Getting out of town is going to be a bitch, too. The only good way is to wait for the crowds to thin out a bit and then head for a metro station not well known to the touristas. When I was stationed in Annapolis during my last two years in the Navy, we would often zip down to DC on weekends and hang out at the museums and/or walk the various sites. It was always fun, you learned something during every visit and I got to know how to drive in and out with no problems. We would leave our house early in the morning, get a full day in in the Capital area, and be home for dinner. I often used to get a parking place on the street right across from the Smithsonian's main entrance. I'll bet all that has changed now. Eisboch Summertime is a bear for parking at the mall, although if you get there early enough, it can be done. It's much more convenient to park at one of the outlying metro stations and take the metro to the Smithsonian stop. -- * Procrastinate Now! * John H |

I'm going to play it safe John. on the 20th I'm going to Kentucky Fried Chicken, and watch it on big screen. Gee, and I was going to be on the lookout for you and for Herring...you in the crowd and Herring in the ambulance, on his way to the hospital after suffering a stroke. :) Nah, I've never been to an inauguration yet, and really dont' see any reason to attend this one either, fighting crowds and traffic isn't' my thing. especially when it's going to be on about every TV network for weeks to come. I've lived in the DC area, Fairfax County, Virginia or Montgomery County, Maryland since July of 1971. I've been to the Mall once for 4th of July fireworks and never for an inauguration. The one time I went for fireworks it was on my motorcycle, easy in, easy around and easy out. It's just too damn cold to go for an inauguration. I did the 4th, once, by boat, anchored in the Potomac. Great show, lots of fun, until the ride back down the river with the folks who had *bigger* boats and a *lot* of booze under their belts. I'll never do it again, unless I spend the night on the river up there. -- * Procrastinate Now! * John H |

Probably will not stink until the weather warms up enough to melt the yellow / brown ice. |

This is the Democrat's party. They will get all of the glory and all of the blame. I think you're statement will provide correct with one exception. "...*none* of the blame." |
