Inauguration Day

Washingtonpost.com reported that the bridges into and out of Washington DC are going to be closed to traffic on Inauguration Day.

Rumor has it that if the expected crowd shows up, there will be one toilet for every 6,000 people in town.

Yesterday, my travel agent told me that Washington is so out of hotel rooms, that Amtrak is going to park its train in Union Station, rent out the sleeping cars and keep the dining cars open.

Supposedly, every business that is not in hospitality (or profits from it) is going to be closed.

You couldn’t pay me to attend that event. I shall be perfectly happy huddling in the lunchroom and watching it on TV with my co-workers.
