hildy89I am just now getting home, two hours later.
Obviously no one told Metro that it was just another Tuesday.
An Orange line train broke down en route to Court House. My train directly behind it had to offload at Rosslyn. Then the broken train backed into Rosslyn and it offloaded. I fled upstairs where chaos truly reigned. People who had in good faith entered the Metro system found they'd still be charged if they exited now, never mind they hadn't actually gone anywhere. Everyone else was asking how to get to their actual destinations. Thankfully I could exercise what WMATA would call my mad PlanBDextrous skillz and recall there was a bus route that was on the way home. I had to wait for a second bus because the first one was too crowded. And then on the second one, some bike rider wanted to put his bike on the rack even when it was clear there were twenty people in front of him! I stood the entire way home.
So either Ethan was practicing his chaos magic today or something was afoot. This seems like as good a day as any to finally get around to reading "Good Omens".
