    Sigh. Perhaps the major insurance carriers should cough up some money and apply pressure on Congress to release more funds?

    If only there were an efficient health care finance system than aggregated the interests of all…

    Problem is, in places like DC suburbs, where “drive till you can afford” and dumb-growth was allowed to flourish, the parkways became something they were not intended to be – transportation arteries. The plan for DC was to build a state of the art subways system, and the masses of federal workers and other would go from the outlying areas into the city in the morning – and back out at the evening. No anticipation of people who live in bethesda and work in ashburn. No anticipation of people who live in the city and work in the burbs. And growth overwhelmed planning.

    No anticipation of society ignoring the responsibility to maintaining the system. No anticipation of a complete lack of further investment in the system as the population grew.

    As if to prove Chris’ point, there was a BIG crash this morning at the MVT crossing of the GW at memorial bridge. Looked like the classic – the prius decided to stop at the cross walk and the Mercedes behind her decided he was not going to. I did not see any injured pedestrians or cyclists, but the damage to the cars was healthy. Traffic was backed up all the way across the 14th St bridge into DC cause of the accident.

    Here are some photos of the aftermath. These were taken around 9 am. It made it very easy for bikes and pedestrians to cross the road.

    One day I will figure out how to rotate the photos properly.

    I save photos to my computer first, then use the rotate feature in the photo viewer in Windows Explorer. I’m sure Macs have a similar feature.
