Many Saturday mornings, I take 495 from Fairfax to Maryland in the morning, and I'm astonished by the speed of many of the drivers. Even when I drive 70 mph, I'm being passed by people driving 80-90+ at times.

As our eyes age, they have a tougher and tougher time adjusting to rapid changes in lighting, and we need to be aware of this.

Metro, built in the late 20th century, is the most escalator-dependent system in the world.

Seems like people could behave themselves without making a calculation regarding how likely or unlikely they are to kill other people.

SafeTrack - I keep saying this - is not going to fix Metro. It's a speeded up track work program, compressing three years of already planned work on the track bed into about a year.

If you think your job requires you to endanger people, get another job.

My philosophy is: Everybody needs to look out for everybody else.
