A couple days ago, I made my first Metro trip of the year... of the year! And this, of course, in the eleventh of twelve months. What to say, other than once again how much the pandemic has upended our lives.
This week I rode in during evening rush hour but the train was only half full, and I felt myself strangely longing for the bustle of evening at the Vienna station.
There were hopeful signs, though, new stations that will open next week as part of the Silver Line, and the crazy fact that even though my return train was emptier than the one heading into town ... I ran into two people I knew.
