I live next to DC... It'll be fun if the gov't shuts down, especially if it's for an extended period of time. They said there could be 3 rush hours in DC instead of the normal morning and evening rush hours. Workers will report Monday, then be sent home... So, there will be a heavy morning rush hour, then a moderate late morning one for all those workers sent home and then a moderate evening one. Craziness! DC has some awful traffic, maybe 800,000 people sitting at home will help that out anyways?
