Of course, those of us who are going just love all these scare stories in the media - anything to thin out the herd in advance... I am hoping it is something like when the Olympics came to LA in 1984 (I lived in Pasadena at the time). There were so many stories about how killer the traffic would be and how impossible it would be to get around that a lot of people left town, and the impact from all the Olympic visitors was actually barely noticeable. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Like TV only smarter.
