Don't make me laugh.<br /><br />So we are left with this:<br /><br />"The incumbent must adhere to all safety and traffic rules, regulations, policies, and procedures to ensure the well being of Metro customers, employees, self, and the general public."<br /><br />Maybe metro's stance is that the law itself is, in the words of Capt. Barbossa "more of a guideline than a rule"?<br /><br /><br />PS- I wonder about those 100 4000 series cars that are out of service, I suppose that means their 50 sandwiched 1000 series are cooling their wheels as well? Remember how long it took to get them in there, do we REALLY think metro took the time to remove them? While it is annoying for those of us working this week, it will be even worse next week when people return to a normal schedule. Metro estimates it will take 2-3 weeks (just like their escalator estimates I guess?) ... joy.Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16763927765706552012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689506078297112665.post-82912953787857707702010-07-06T08:12:20.082-04:002010-07-06T08:12:20.082-04:00Unsuck...I was out of town last week.

Touching the third rail and being electrocuted is the only thing I can think of, but electrocution isn't necessarily that gruesome. This one has me baffled.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689506078297112665.post-68872054636922757022010-07-06T08:03:47.422-04:002010-07-06T08:03:47.422-04:00That pic made my Monday LOLThat pic made my Monday LOLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
