Adding on to today’s series of epic Metro multifails (1,2) WMATA kindly informs us that a Dominion Virginia Power problem will be causing Orange Line delays through the evening rush. Power is out at Dunn Loring station, meaning no elevators or escalators, and Orange Line trains will alternate termination points between West Falls Church and Vienna.

Plan accordingly. Me, I’m walking the literal extra mile to the Red Line.

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.
