Dirty Laundry by Don Henley

“I make my living off the Evening News
Just give me something-something I can use
People love it when you lose, They love dirty laundry

Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good,
I don't have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry

Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em all around

We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who comes on at five
She can tell you 'bout the plane crash with a gleam in her eye
It's interesting when people die- Give us dirty laundry
Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a running bet
Get the widow on the set! We need dirty laundry

You don't really need to find out what's going on
You don't really want to know just how far it's gone
Just leave well enough alone
Eat your dirty laundry

Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down

Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're stiff
Kick 'em all around

Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybody's pie
We love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry

We can do "The Innuendo"
We can dance and sing
When it's said and done we haven't told you a thing
We all know that Crap is King
Give us dirty laundry!”



Enjoy your weekend class and your Dirty Laundry

Modern Marvel:The Capital Beltway

Welcome Class sorry for the gap between post been working on moving into a new job as well as dealing with other issues regarding the move back to DC.

Today’s lesson is the Modern Marvel of The Washington DC Capital Beltway. Enjoy a Short History lesson below.

The I-495 Capital Beltway was completed in August 1964. The first section was opened on December 28, 1961, and included the Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge over the Potomac River near Alexandria, Va. I-495 is 64 miles long; with 22 miles in Virginia, and 42 miles in Maryland. When opened, road was four lanes wide (two each way) from I-95 at Springfield, Va. to the George Washington Parkway interchange near the American Legion Memorial Bridge over the Potomac River near Cabin John, Md. The bridge and the rest of the Beltway (50 miles) had six lanes (three each way).
In 1972, Maryland completed Beltway widening to eight lanes (four each way) from MD-210 Indian Head Highway to MD-97 Georgia Avenue, a distance of 29 miles. In 1977, Virginia completed Beltway widening to eight lanes from US-1 Jefferson Davis Highway to VA-193 Georgetown Pike, a distance of 21 miles. In 1990, Maryland completed Beltway widening to eight lanes from MD-97 Georgia Avenue to I-270/MD-355, a distance of 4 miles. In 1991-92, Maryland and Virginia completed Beltway widening to eight lanes from I-270 Spur to VA-193, a distance of 5 miles; this included the American Legion Bridge and approaches to each interchange closest to the river, which was widened to 10 lanes. The 3 miles of Beltway between I-270/MD-355 and I-270 Spur is adequate at six lanes, as the traffic volume is about 1/2 of that of the adjoining sections of the Beltway.
The Beltway was designated I-495 throughout from 1964 to 1977. In 1977, the eastern portion became I-95, and Shirley Highway inside the Beltway was changed from I-95 to I-395. This was done because of the cancellation of proposed I-95 from New York Avenue in D.C. northward into Prince George's County to I-495. The I-95 designation was moved to the eastern half of the I-495 Beltway in 1977, and I-495 was removed from the eastern half of the Beltway, and I-395 replaced the I-95 designation on Shirley Highway from I-495 to the 14th Street Bridge, on the 14th Street Bridge itself, on the Southwest Freeway in D.C. and on the Center Leg Freeway in D.C.
Motorists never fully adjusted to having a full-circle beltway with halves with two different numbers (I-95 and I-495). In 1989, the I-495 designation was applied back to the eastern portion of the beltway, so the whole beltway is again I-495, and the eastern portion is I-95 also. The beltway has the clockwise direction (as in looking at a map of the Beltway) signed as the Inner Loop, and the counter-clockwise direction is signed as the Outer Loop.
The Capital Beltway was originally built with 38 interchanges, and today it has 40 interchanges (Eisenhower Avenue and FedEx Field were added recently). High-speed directional ramps were built at the northern I-95 junction in 1986. A number of interchanges have been expanded. There are studies underway at present to widen sections of the beltway to ten or twelve lanes. The traffic volumes on the beltway range as high as 225,000 vehicles per day.
The only remaining six-lane Beltway section (other than the adequate six-lane section between near I-270 ) is the 2 miles of Beltway comprised of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge and approaches from US-1 to just east of I-295.
