Inauguration - Here's the deal...
 
Just reported on local TV. According to current estimates of the number of
people who may end up on the mall, and the number of porta-potties on the
mall, there will be one porta-potty for every 6,000 people.

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.

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. :)

Bathroom anxiety certainly is a concern, but fortunately, several unions
within a couple of blocks of the Capitol are having an open house
and...more important...access to bathrooms... :)

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.

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.

Actually, the last few times we went to any of the museums, we found
on-street parking no more than a block away. We tend not to go, though,
during tourist season, unless there is someting spectacular and
short-term at one of the art galleries. There's also parking where my
wife works, and it's only a block from there to the Metro.

We hop on the Metro out at Shady Grove and ride down to the Smithsonian

Metro is the way to go, no doubt about it. If the Metro is ever extended
to Tysons Corners, why...I might go out there again!

I'd like to see the Metro extended to Annapolis, and also to the old
race track in PeeGee County, but there's no money for that.

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.

You find the number of porta potties political?

Wow.

Actually, I don't think there was anything political in my post.

I don't recall chastizing you for anything. I simply asked that you not

not, up to you.

I think you show a lack of maturity when you start talking macho man

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.

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.

Perhaps *you* would be so kind as to explain the political significance of
a porta potty?

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

LOL. *The crap will overfloweth that night. *Going to be a lot of crapped

And probably will for the next 4 years. But that's how it is, it's
been over flowing for over 20.

Once that word gets out I'll bet the open house closes.

Probably have signs... "closed for Maintainence"

Then wait at least 3 days for the U. electrician to come in and turn

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.


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."

You find the number of porta potties political?

Wow.

Actually, I don't think there was anything political in my post.


There was. It was underlying kind of like Harry does, but it's there,
and you know it!

I don't recall chastizing you for anything. I simply asked that you not
quote the **** Salty or slammer write. Just a request. You can honor it or
not, up to you.


Okay.

I think you show a lack of maturity when you start talking macho man
bull**** to either one of them. But, that's just an opinion. If it improves
your self-esteem to do so, help yourself.

My self esteem has nothing to do with the fact that I hate and abhor

No, there was nothing political about my post. I simply repeated what a
local news announcer had said. I thought it was humorous.

I agree with your opinion of liars and name-calling. But, when you turn
around and call them names and hurl insults, aren't you doing the same
thing?
