Memorial Day Barbeque

First some facts for those unfamiliar with motorcades:

1. It is required that a motorcade close down as many roads as possible to avoid waiting in traffic. It’s kind of like the cops using their siren to get to lunch faster.

2. Motorcade drivers must cycle their sirens on and off rapidly to produce a very annoying partial chirp that definitely gets people’s attention – then makes them want run up and punch the siren.

3. Apparently the motorcades that include an ambulance are often for the President or Vice-President.

4. Did I mention that motorcades are required to disrupt traffic to get their certification as an official motorcade?

I guess that is all for now. I understand when you are eating lunch in front of the White House that you are going to see a motorcade or two. What frustrates me is why they have to go through the rest of town. I think they should build below ground walkways so the very important people can get from A-B without disturbing everyone else.


I realize this was incredibly unproductive and probably boring to read so to make up for that, here's this:
Monday, Memorial Day - Barbeque at Clinton Lake for anyone in Lville not working?
