Behold, people more special than you. I know it’s hard to tell from such a lousy picture, but these are the people whose convenience outranks even your safety. While many of us were creeping forward in yesterday’s afternoon deluge, attempting through care and reduced speed to keep safe, these four paragons of wonder decided to pull off to the side rather than continue on.
The idea of pulling over and being safe rather than sorry is a great one… if you do it in the breakdown lanes before and after the bridge. In keeping with their higher station in life, however, these jerks royalty among us decided they’d do it in one of the two traffic lanes so they could be out of the rain. Luckily they’re more important than everyone else, otherwise blocking already hindered traffic would be an amazingly asshole thing to do.

Well I used to say something in my profile about not quite being a “tinker, tailor, soldier, or spy” but Tom stole that for our about us page, so I guess I’ll have to find another way to express that I am a man of many interests.
Hmm, guess I just did.
My tastes run the gamut from sophomoric to Shakespeare and in my “professional” life I’ve sold things, served beer, written software, and carried heavy objects… sometimes at the same place. It’s that range of loves and activities that makes it so easy for me to love DC – we’ve got it all.
