	Fewer syllables are better, so I propose "cisPot/transPot" (for the
Potomac), "cisLoop/transLoop" (for the Beltway), "cisPons/transPons" (for
the Wilson Bridge), and "cisAnd/transAnd" (from the Latin for "aisle"
(andron), for people in the same/different political party as you).

	obdc.dining: inspired by all of the Pho talk, I decided to
go to Pho for lunch.  We'll see if I'm still up for it for dinner tonight
as well.
