Closing the On-Ramps to the Beltway on I-Day

BTW, I'm getting tired of trying how to remember to spell "Inauguration."

This in, courtesy of WTOP:

"[MD State Highway Admin. Spokesperson] says it may be necessary to temporarily close ramps on the Beltway.

'If [traffic] starts backing up onto the Beltway, that's a safety issue,' Edgar says. "

Wait. What? Traffic backs up every day on the Beltway. Now it's a safety issue?

I have been comparing the panic-inducing announcements on the inauguration planning to the Y2K hysteria for over a week now.

I have my duct tape, plastic sheeting and bathtub full of water. *insert eye roll here*

I so understand. Every time I type that word I think "that looks wrong."
