Thank goodness for buses and the Metro!!
well, Betty, they shut the "above ground" Metro (half the system) at 1:00 pm yesterday, and shut down the buses as well. the snow is too deep for the "third rail" (which was originally built with NO protection from the elements at all) and the roads too bad for the buses. the Feds had been expected to work as usual--those that work on Saturday--and Congress is meeting every day, so who knows how anyone got home?
as of now, 25 (of 125) bus routes are running half service, and the above ground Metro is still closed. and tomorrow?
yep, there's a reason we all strip the markets bare in a massive panic before even one flake falls!
fly fishing and baseball share a totally deceptive simplicity; that's why they can both be lifelong pursuits.
