Bloomberg 99.1 in DC thought Friday morning traffic was light because Caps won

They must be unaware of the federal payroll calendar.

Today is the end of the two-week pay period.

Many Feds are on the schedule of 5 days, then 4, totaling 80 hours.

They tend to take the last day in the pay period off.

Especially since taking off on 25 May meant that they would get a 4-day weekend for Memorial Day.

So the traffic lightening was not due just to the Caps win.
