Let’s Set the Scene
For those of you unfamiliar with the DC metro system, let me set the scene for you. On the metro, when the train is stopping, it slows smoothly, then before it stops completely, it gives a hard jerk. The jerk is followed by a complete stop, a cheerful ding, a woman’s voice assuring riders the doors will open shortly, and of course, the opening of the doors.
Note: The jerk is enough to make even steady riders lose their balance. I’ve seen young children courageoulsy saved by vigilant strangers – rescued from almost certain facial rugburn – as they stand before the final jerk without a cautious parent.

My Future’s So Bright: I Gotta Wear Shades
As I was on my way home from work Thursday, I encountered a quizzical, yet not uncommon DC Character: the woman who wears very large, very dark sunglasses on the metro. I was struck by the choice of accessory mainly because the woman was on the metro, in a car, sitting as if she’d been on for several stops.
