[Groop] Fw: Fw: OT - Washington DC

[eephillip]

Sean,
  I've read, and collect every Groo comic, except for reruns.  If it sounds like sarcasm it's more like satire from reading and collecting every MAD too.  The Government hasn't made too many wise decisions recently.

  I'm a bit concerned about the millions of folks who will visit our area only to find that the main roads into DC from VA, will be closed on that important day.  I commuted on those roads for 30 years.  Too many folks may get stranded.  On the news today, they are suggesting that folks who drive, go around the Beltway and come into DC via Maryland streets.

  I just hope Larry and his school group, and other Groopies, have their travel plans in stone.  I'll be available afterward, to retrieve any strays.

  John,
    I live in the DC area, just outside the Beltway in Northern Virginia, and will not even think of leaving the house on Inauguration Day.  The Secret Service has announced that all the bridges into DC from Virginia, and the Interstate highways inside the Beltway will be closed to traffic.  I have no idea how people will get to work to serve the visitors who walk from their hotels 20 miles away.

    They just announced that they'll allow people to walk across the bridges if they aren't carrying coolers or food or something.

    The weather will probably be cold, but no storms.  Good luck.  I'll look for your hat on the local news coverage.

  Any Groopies in the Washington DC area? My buddy and I are heading down there for the inauguration. 

  I know it would be nigh impossible to meet up. I'll be the one (of 2.5 million) in the Groo hat.

   

  We don't have any ticket to any events, but we do have a motel room in Gaithersburg. 

   

  It should be fun just to be there. I'm praying for temps in the 40F range. I doesn't look to good. If it rains/snows who knows what will happen.

   

  SPOON!
