DC Metro is closed today. Not "running with reduced frequency," not "single-tracking between Ballston and Foggy Bottom." That would be normal operations. Closed for 29 hours, for unplanned emergency inspections of electrical cables before they kill any more passengers. Even the New York City Subway is making fun. I remembered the bike I stopped riding when it got cold last fall, put air in the tires, and had a great ride in. Despite a detour to tour Constitution Gardens and a stop for coffee, I still sat down at my desk at the usual time, more refreshed than usual despite a rumpled shirt. I think I'll give my metro card a break for a while.
