When it sucks to be at the end of the road

Greetings from your Nation's Capitol, where I'm officing for a couple of days. This breaking news dispatch came in the e-mail tonight from the folks at Little Pete's:

Hey Everybody – we got the call tonight around 8 p.m. that the corp. is shutting down the windy road for 7 days. Apparently, it was worse than they thought. Once they caved in the road to repair it, they found another huge hole on the other side of the road underneath, and therefore, have shut the entire road down for a week.

We are going to try to stay open for business, but we won’t know anything until the morning. We are truly sorry for the inconvenience. We just wanted to give you a heads up, and we will keep you posted. More details to follow as we know them. I hope we can answer more questions in the morning.

Until the hole in the road is fixed, I hope you have a boat to get to Little Pete's. Or perhaps a helicopter. We'll keep you posted.

In a related story, a friend of mine here in DC just flew in from Cincinnati. He said his flight had to be suddenly rerouted off of one Cincy runway, because it cratered too!
