Making Light:  Leavin' on a jet plane?  A few handy links before you go ::: January 18, 2009, 12:23 PM

Thanks for the info, abi, but....  Somehow the timing of your
information suggests that it is related to flights to Washington, DC.
And it's a damn good feeling to think we're going to have a president
for a change.  I just wish I could look forward to the extravaganza.

I live 1/2 mile north of the White House, and my impulse is to bar the
doors and stay inside Monday and Tuesday, and hope the city is there
on Wednesday.

It occurs to me I could get out of grinch mode and set up a water
station at 16th and Q, if I could get someone to carry the jug back
and forth for refills, since I'm not supposed to lift over 10 pounds
for the next couple of weeks.  At least I would feel useful.  It's
way too late to be an official volunteer.  Maybe I should leave it
to people who thought ahead.
