In 597 BC the Babylonians captured Jerusalem, and replaced Jeconiah with Zedekiah as the king. In 1926 Robert Goddard launched the first liquid-fueled rocket from Pakachoag Hill on his Aunt Effe Ward's farm in Auburn, Massachusetts at the age of 44.
Today the DC area is dealing with #metrogedden today as the system is shut down for a much needed thorough safety check. It was an unusual move, denying all services for 24 hours in the middle of the work week, and many commuters felt stressed and abandoned. Fortunately, the federal government agreed to do unscheduled liberal leave and telework today and that took a lot of pressure off. Many other people stayed home as well, which is a bit of a hardship as they have to use a leave day unexpectedly. The roads were definitely more chaotic as folks who weren’t quite used to the routine of daily commuting drove – lots of really odd behaviors as they cut across lanes because they didn’t realize they had to be “there” that quickly and slowed down to a crawl as they were trying to read road signs. I was glad to get to work, even gladder that I was traveling crosswise rather than joining the stream of cars headed downtown, and downright ecstatic that I am not trying to find a parking spot downtown today!
Of course, the Congress folks are above riding the Metro, or maybe it would be an object lesson about how failing to invest in infrastructure can and will have a negative impact on business. Meanwhile, this picture was shared on Facebook to show the impact:
