DC morning checklist

RED LINE delayed: check

ORANGE LINE station shut downs: check
 
Thank you, DC metro, for your consistency and reliable suck-assity.  Between red line snafus (act of God, flooding, I know, beyond their control, blah blah) and the smoke that engulfed Farragut West about 3 trains before mine forcing a shut down of the station, it was quite the hectic morning.  I had to walk from McPherson Square to Dupont Circle...11 blocks or so...amidst other displaced commuters.  At least I got see some new pandas.  Silver lining...silver lining....
