The Inauguration

With the Inauguration coming up, almost every news article is dedicated to it. The funny thing about these articles, is that there seems to be a ridiculously strong emphasis on the portable toilets. What you say??? Yes, the portable toilets.

Almost every article states that there won't be nearly enough portable toilets for the crowds. The capital is expecting over a million people and I have heard that around 5000 portable restrooms will be on site. The general rule of thumb is one toilet to every 100 people. As there aren't 10,000 portable toilets available, I would predict very, very long lines.

On top of that, there is the cold weather, lack of hotel rooms, major road closures and ban on food or drink on the mall. That all adds up to me watching from home. How about you??
