[SkateDC] Inauguration Shame-O-Gram

[Carl Ford]

Oh yeah, I forgot the guy with the little camera.  I'll have to watch  
Channel 9 tonight.

I started skating 17 years ago, and this was possibly the most fun  
skate I ever had...

Quoting Maureen Cohen Harrington <mcharrington at starpower.net>:

> Together, we did about 16 miles.

>> -get taped for a Pepsi commercial
>> -get our picture taken for Last Exit magazine
>> -skate 395 through the 3rd street tunnel twice

>> And after lunch at RFD, I got to skate home via 395, the SE/SW
>> Freeway, and the 6th St SE exit to Capitol Hill.
