At right, the scene at Metro Center, Red Line to Shady Grove, Monday night. On the PID screens, train arrival times were blank, alternating with the message:

RESIDUAL DELAYS, RED LINE Minor delays on Red Line to Shady Grove due to an earlier train malfunction which has now been resloved.

That crowd didn’t look too resloved, or too happy, but the typo was worth a chuckle. Seen any other good Metro PID typos lately?

Roving Asian mendicant, can occasionally be seen wandering the streets of downtown Washington, muttering unintelligible gibberish to passers-by while pushing a “bag lady” shopping cart full of old blankets, American flags, soda cans, and healthy secondhand snacks from organic food shop dumpsters. Used to live in a cardboard box at 16th and K but the rent was too expensive.
