Getting Around DC, 8 Days til Inauguration

DC traffic is not the worst I have ever seen, but it gets pretty damn bad. Just the Whitehouse Christmas tree caused gridlock for blocks.

The inauguration gridlock has already begun. Commutes are getting longer and more frustrating. The list of road and bridge closures on inauguration day (and in some cases before) is enormous.

I can't imagine what it will be like to try and drive here, but I think the subways may even turn out to be worse. They hardly stand up to normal DC service. This weekend there were several delays, one for a track cracking. That doesn't sound good.

I'm so glad Chris and I can walk everywhere.
