    What rally? You stopping by C'Ville? Sure, it's out of the way and all, but I'll show you around the crash lab.

    Restoring Honor Rally. You know.....explaining to people how we as a nation used to be and how we can get back to that. Could be 10,000 or 500,000 people. Steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

    Thanks for the invite, but we'll be leaving here around 1 or 2am, DC by 6am then home by 8 or 9pm. If your serious about the invite, I'll have penty of time off this winter to come up and check it out.

    That sounds fun, I love DC.

    Of course I am serious. In fact, if any member here finds themselves in central VA, please let me know. I'd be honored to give you a tour, and if you time it right, view a crash test.

    Any of you folks that ARE driving up there - the beltway is torn up beyond reasonable travel right now... (was just up there). Stay away from 495 and you might want to see if you can learn what other parts of the DC road system are also AFU. From the mixing bowl north it was just horrible and that was in the evening after the rush was supposed to be over...

    Thanks Dan. That info will help in choosing our route.

    Dennis- Yep, a real short trip, but I think it'll be worth it.

    If the subway system is still as good as it used to be (I haven't been there in about 10 years) I would park at a Metro station at Fairfax or Springfield and avoid the parking and traffic problems.

    Agreed. Franconia/Springfield is right on, or near the freeway, which is convenient. King Street Station, in old town Alexandria, is also a nice place to hop a ride.

    DAMN! Moved to the whacky world! Someone had to go and make it political.
    I just wanted to know if anyone else was attending.

    Fine Louis....watch your MSNBC. I can already hear the commentary......
    "The small group that came were nothing but racist right wingers......."

    Maybe you should go Louis........Restoring Honor is the theme.

    LOL -- and, they might embarrass us when the rest of the world sees them.

    See, sooner or later everybody gets political -- just gotta find the right causes.

    Just the names "Glenn Beck" and "Sarah Palin" have been known tho drive liberals crazy so moving it was inevitable.;)

    My Lil bro just left today flying out of Sac. He's staying with our sister who works in D.C. Wish I was going. Should be a big crowd. Lots of jumbo trons. Have a fun safe trip.
