Wind
There were some freakishly strong winds today in Washington. Immensely powerful, they were wreaking havoc all over town.
Amtrak trains were stopped between Washington and Baltimore because of power lines downed on the tracks. I got to meet some fun people who decided to take Metro to Greenbelt and then the bus to BWI. From there they would take the train up to Baltimore. What a hassle. But they were talking to their coworkers on their cell phones, and some of them were still stuck at Union Station.
The wind also gave me considerable grief in getting to the airport. The short walk from my apartment to the Metro almost ended in me losing my phone. Apparently, as I stopped to button up against the wind, I dropped my cell phone. I went on to get on the Metro, but stepped off as soon as I noticed it missing.
I went back home and called the number. Seems a nice gentleman had picked it up and was very happy to return it to me. He met me down the street, I thanks him and gave him a small reward. And after all that I still managed to make it to the airport on time.
