This is officially the last straw

An e-mail circulated our office around 4:20 this afternoon, saying that the Bethesda and Medical Center Metro stations were closed due to a "police incident." Being that I had to be home by 6:00 tonight for an alumni function that was going to take place at Riverhouse, I frantically searched for an alternative transport home—which I found, in the passenger seat of a co-worker who lives in Alexandria (to whom I am now indebted a tall, frosty beer).

Given the chaotic summer that Metro has enjoyed, this is officially the last straw for me: I'm going back to driving to and from work each day.
