What really amazed me yesterday, is that they shut down Andrews AFB where I work, and told all non-essential personnel to go home. (This was much the case all through the National Capitol region yesterday) I got back to base from Crystal City around 1:30 pm with maybe an inch to two inches accumulated. At that time there was a mass exodus from Andrews. Everyone was trying to get out the main gate as the the other popular gate has been closed for construction. That left two other minor gate on the back side open which nobody would take because they are a "goat-rope" just to get back on the main highways. It was just crazy. It took me at least 40 minutes just to get off the base and onto Rt. 4 heading home. I think I would have just left the base open and let people leave as they so choose, instead of closing all at once. The roads were indeed a little slick, but when you have masses of stupid government workers trying to all get home at the same time... well it gets a little bit crazy. Oh yeah I hope it comforts you that these are the people running your country! LOL
