[SkateDC] Sunday Intermediate Skate is a GO !

[Carl Ford]

   From what I see on Capitol Hill, the streets are fairly wet.  On a  
cloudy humid day, they may become dry enough by 11 for an intermediate  
skate, but I find it hard to imagine that the same will be true  
outside of downtown.

   I plan to show up, but the advanced skate will probably just tag  
along with the intermediate skate. Quoting George Marinkovich  
<skatewash at yahoo.com>:
