[MR] Herndon, VA / Dulles Airport - NSTR

[Becky McEllistrem]

Just got word my sister in Pittsburgh is flooded out
of her house.  My niece just starting 3rd grade is
having a blast and thinks it's a great time to have to
live in a hotel. 

On the "bitty car" line my sister was amazed at the
number of people that got stuck because they moved the
police road blocks over to the side  and drove the
roads anyway.

Ya know when I see a police road block I tend to
believe them.   <grin>
