Be Prepared, Its D-Day

Okay, so the inauguration of Barack H. Obama is coming up in about 2 weeks. It is a very historic occasion and one worthy to note in history, but you are crazy to come to DC for the inauguration. First DC is going to be on lock down. 2nd, security is going to be unbelievable. The security perimeter zone is huge. 3rd, the entire world (ie the rest of the world outside of of DC) is going to be here. They are saying 3 to 4 million people are coming.

Here is a map of all the street closures http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=100000666902257773673.00045fd51cf352b39888b&start=0&num=200&ll=38.888761,-77.010727&spn=0.05211,0.10849&z=13 I mean this is crazy. I am so glad my work is canceled because there is no way in hell I would try to get into the city. In fact I am leaving the city and going to Virginia Beach. If any of you are coming to DC I wish you luck, there is no way you will be able to get around.

C'mon Freddie, don't hold back, tell us the real deal, don't pretty it up ;)

But to be serious, you're so right I can't imagine trying to attend this one, although it would be so cool to do so...

I seriously thought about attending but then thought again.
At least you get a 4 day weekend. That rocks!
