From Today’s Washington Post front page story about traffic:

Travel experts said late July and August are the height of vacation season for Washingtonians. School hasn’t started yet, Congress is out of session, the president is biking in Texas for five weeks, and seemingly everyone else has left the swelter of the city for a mountain peak, sandy beach or some other version of paradise.

Not everyone. While candlelight vigils were held through out the world against the Iraq War, “the president is biking for five weeks.”

Ouch.

Having just returned — via the I-95 parking lot — from vacation, this item seemed an appropriate way to say, I’m baaaaaaaaack.
