[Scan-DC] Maryland Launches Nation's Largest Mobile Command Center

[Doug K.]

The longest 18-wheeler I've ever seen is either 54 or 56 feet, and the MSP 
thing doesn't appear to be articulated... if they show it off somewhere you 
bet I'm gonna take a look at it... maybe it will be at the Montgomery County 
Fair, but I dunno how they're gonna get the sonuvagun in there (and we're 
back to that!)

Not sure what the length of a mobile home is but I don't think they're any 
bigger.
