Just reported on local TV. According to current estimates of the number of

I don't think they'll be selling beer on the mall.
Bring an empty plastic bottle. Carry it in your hand, 'cause backpacks and
large purses won't be allowed.
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.
