Maybe there is something happening on the line that is creating a delay. Man, people complain a lot about the Metro but almost every time I've ridden it I've found it to be pretty efficient. And 10 minutes between trains...every once in awhile (their timetable says 8 minutes between trains during most times) is not a long wait. Just try driving a few miles in DC, Metro is a pretty good deal. I think they do a great job.

I just got an email from Steve Scalise the other day (okay, from his email minnions) bitching about how DC wants to be a state and - clutching his pearls - he said how horrible that would be because crime and vagrants and etc. These people can't even run a hearing.
