DC always shuts down for Inauguration Day - no mail, public transit is on a holiday schedule (even though they tell everyone to use it rather than driving in), massive street closures, security all over the place. And, for those who do drive in, if they park anywhere that might be anywhere "near" (near being defined as somewhere a paranoid security person thinks might, possibly, somehow, come within several blocks of anyone associated with the administration, security, the police, etc.) the parade route, their cars can be towed away and parked someplace else ... with no notice of where. There's usually a spate of complaints afterwards from people who parked their cars someplace they were sure was OK and find them gone, report them stolen and later get whacked with massive fines for having been parked for extended periods of time in a non-legal parking place.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Pool is closed AGAIN. Universe is mocking me.
I guess this means I have time to go to Ace and fix my sink tonight.
Joy.
Or, you could stay home and rest, sara! Totally a legit option given the circumstances.

I love webcams on weather and traffic sites, I can get real-time updates on the status of tricky intersections on the way home during snowstorms.
Timelies all!
Yay, David!
Things you don't want to see in the traffic report as rush hour begins: "Mike says a wheel came off a truck and was rolling up I-15 NB near 4500S"
But I feel fine! I hate wasting good health.
Sink fixed and hair dyed. Back to brunette.
Now to do some Xmas shopping.
Whoo hoo, Hec! Crossing everything here!
Go Hec!
I am really bad at leaving work a little early. Sigh. Oh well, long lunch tomorrow. I am better at that.
