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

<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></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></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>
