Hope that Obama will do something about the aging infrastructures in our country - as he promised.

1. Were your friends directly affected?
Really something when Montgomery County hasn't kept up ITS infrastructure, as its one of US's most wealthy.

Was she scared, or confident they'd get her out? HUGE crater there today; being repaired.

I'm in silver spring and didn't travel yesterday. You?

As to infrastructure generally, sounds like Montgomery County can do its repairs quickly, and I suspect that others can do similarly, so when new admin's $ becomes available, I think it will be very useful for the economy generally.

Happy Holidays!
