<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>John,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 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.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> They just announced that they'll allow
people to walk across the bridges if they aren't carrying coolers or food or
something.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> The weather will probably be cold, but no
storms. Good luck. I'll look for your hat on the local news
coverage.</FONT></DIV>
