TGIF

There are times when I absolutely dread riding the DC metro. It certainly is convenient to live in a city where you can travel essentially anywhere you need to go relatively easily on public transportation, but sometimes being packed into a stinky, germ-ridden car seems so overwhelming. This attitude is becoming much more common on these 100+ degree days when the metro is packed with confused tourists and riders who opted to forgo the deoderant. After reading about trains in India in Foreign Policy last week, however, I guess the ride might not be so bad...
