Hee.
Well, I've been enjoying this arc alot. Nice to see that it's not done yet.
None of it means a damn thing.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Secondly, DC residents do not stand quietly on the escalator during rush hour.
Some do. On the right. Never on the left.

heh ... that assumes the escalators are working. When I saw people riding an escalator that actually worked, I knew it wasn't DC.

Last time I was in DC, both of the Metro escalators on the way to and way from the American Indian museum were working fine.

You were lucky - not only is it more usual for the escalators to be out of order (seems that after a repair they break down after eight days, on average), but at one station I read a report that the only escalator that worked and didn't have chunks taken out for repair was going up. Which meant people either had to wait for the VERY slow elevator or, as some did, go down the up escalator. And after the Jon Stewart/ Steven Colbert rally, one caved in while people were on it.

Sounds like Federal Center half the time. The only working escalator to the platform goes up. Which doesn't work in the evenings, when 90+% of the traffice is heading down.

I think it was Wheaton. And the problem was that they had removed pieces of the non-working escalators so that it wasn't possible to use them as stairs.
If there's only one escalator working, Metro's supposed to have it going up ... which is possibly the only time I've seen this actually done.

Om reflection, I may be giving up on Criminal Minds; the new one ... it just isn't grabbing me. I'm not feeling any kind of ... well, anything ... from the characters. They don't strike me as being particularly intelligent or good at their jobs (except Garafolo). I can't work up much emotional investment in the investigators, the victims, their families, or the criminals. And I really need to get to sleep earlier .... The extra Garcia is nice (and WHAT did she have in her hair?), but if I get an hour of her working with people she has an actual connection with, I can do without it.
The original series, those people were smart, and not just Reid. Much as I disliked Mandy Patinkin, I wanted to see the stories and the other characters. But I may give up on them as well - I'm not liking the way it's trending. (yes, I know - blasphemy!)
