Woohoo! A Redskins fan! I'm going to the season opener this weekend. The whole fate of the team is up in the air as far as I'm concerned.

Anyway, you're right about the weather and the traffic. I pitty al those poor saps who go up 95 through the Springfield interchange every morning. My dad's office is in NW DC. There was once a guy working there who lived in Fredericksburg. For those of you who don't know, Fredericksburg is an hour drive south of DC without traffic. That means it took him AT LEAST 2 hours every morning and every night to commute. And he worked there for over 30 years! I think the guy had permanent bags under his eyes.
