Just got back. I left a little before 4pm. From Chevy Chase to Dulles and back, 3 hours. Ugh. The toll road was fine, it was 495 that was so bad. The toll road flowed nicely actually. On the way back however, the merge back on to 495 off the toll road was miserable. A stand still for about 30 minutes. I ended up getting off at the River Rd exit and heading all the way down to Western Ave. Of all the times for my brother to book a flight out of Dulles, he picks 7pm on a weekday.
Yeah that was a crappy time, plus you had some rain to fight.

Your brother owes you dinner (Ruth's Chris, Morton's, Ray's the Steak, etc) and drinks for that shithole of a ride...
I had to work out of my company's corporate office yesterday. Ended up taking "the back way" both ways because of traffic. Reminded me of how glad I am not to have to make that drive every day.

Thats why I could never live in an area with that much trafic. I had to deal with this http://hamptonroads.com/2009/06/brash-abduction-chase-shootout-and-two-dead
on Monday and it still only took me an hour to get home. For two hours the cops had every direction I could take to get home blocked off but the traffic soon cleared. It was actually pretty wild Monday as my office is about 1/2 from police head quarters and in span of about 20min I bet I had 40 to 50 cop cars come speeding past my office.
