Awww fanks, Bokey fer thinking about me {#Hug}

It was rare that I used the metro, as it was not a difficult drive for me when I worked in Riverdale/College Park area.

Guy had a nastier than usual drive home from Fairfax County because of the OTHER mess going on 495/95!

She would have received the same professional care and kindness at any Canadian emergency room.

Hillary Clinton  17.6.09
Hillary Clinton will have an operation on her right elbow next week

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has fractured her right elbow in a fall, her chief of staff has said.

Mrs Clinton had been on her way to the White House when she fell on Wednesday afternoon, her chief of staff Cheryl Mills said in a statement.

The secretary of state was treated at The George Washington University Hospital and then went home.

She is to have surgery to repair her elbow in the coming week, Cheryl Mills said.

"Secretary Clinton appreciates the professionalism and kindness she received from the medical team who treated her this evening and looks forward to resuming her full schedule soon," her chief of staff added.

Mrs Clinton had been due to join actress Angelina Jolie on Thursday morning at an event in Washington marking World Refugee Day, but pulled out after her accident.

It was coming from Europe, so they had a few hours to prepare.  They would have had to call ahead anyway. The copilot took the controls, which is common.
