Funny how a hyped up storm can never live up to its billing. Nor should it, is the loss of life and property worth living up to the HYPE!?! I don't think so.

But I do have to admit, Metro did a commendable job staying open. Now, if they can do that during a blizzard, I would have completed my mission and completely Saved Metro!

Until then, I will be ever diligent.

Who's more entitled?

A recent blog post got me thinking. Actually the responses got me thinking, and not it a good way, either. An able body man going thru the rigors of Metro and broken escalators and hot cars, could be quite a task. I can just imagine what a mother with a child in a stroller would go thru.

I unhesitatingly give my seat for a pregnant woman, mother/child, elder man/woman and any handicapped person. That's the way I was raised and that's the way I hope others would treat my mother, pregnant wife and handicapped brother.

But I have a feeling that is not a popular feeling amongst DC Metro travelers. I have run into more courteous tourists, than daily grinders like me. Which makes me realize that to Save Metro, may be harder than I thought. If some self-entitled riders would rather take an elevator before a mother and child, because it was her choice to have children, is just bizarre. Makes me question why, why even bother trying to Save Metro, when society is in such disarray.
