![[ The Scene at King Street Station at 8:00 AM ]](images/KingStCrowd.jpg)
Everyone wanted to see BHO today. Getting there was an issue. You are going to join 1,999,999 of your best friends. Here are people waiting for a Metro train at King Street Station at 8:00 AM. Temperature was about 20 degrees. When the train arrived, about a third of them had to wait for the next train.
The Mount Vernon Trail was another option. Didn't I tell you that bicycling optimizes all parts of your life? The Park Ranger is handing out commemorative buttons.
Arlington Memorial Bridge was reserved for pedestrians and bicyclists. Also Segways. By about 9:00 am, I counted about 150 people a minute passing me. That's about 9,000 people an hour. You'd need a rush hour HOT lane to equal that!
