Having been caught on the wrong side of Penna Ave and having had to wait fifteen minutes to get back to the office, I can tell you you’re just not missing much. Lots of motorcycle cops, lots of black SUV's with lots of grim looking secret service agents with guns hanging out the windows, the beast and usually a few more limos (not necessarily all in that order), and an ambulance tagging along behind.

“Requested”. Good luck, everyone.

They should maybe take him to the vet; something may be going on with his health. One of the places where I used to ride, one of the instructors had a big goofy black lab who loved everybody—until he was running around the back deck, slipped and ran head first into a retaining wall. Immediate personality change towards non-family: growling, snapping, hackles up, snarling, the whole shebang. I don’t think he ever bit anyone, but he damn sure threatened for several months. I figure he concussed himself or something.

Medical Ctr to where the Purple Line station in Bethesda will be is, like, half a mile. Easier just to walk it. Even so, I think the PL station will be at most a couple hundred yards from the subway station.

The Purple line in SS will run right through the big bus terminal which is basically attached to the SS subway station. (It will run over the end of the SS metro platform.) So yes, you'll have to get off the Red line and walk about 50 yards or less to the PL station.

IF the thing ever gets built, I can't imagine it will be faster to ride the Red line all the way around.
