Exciting trip home
Robert and I stopped at the airport on the way home to see about getting dinner there — I know it’s odd, but very convenient since the metro stops right there. First we had the fun of watching planes take off and land while we were waiting for dinner, then a firetruck and ambulance showed up across the tarmac (very hard to see in the dark, cellphone photo). The firetruck had its light on, the ambulance waited until they were leaving to turn on their lights. I guess someone was sick on the flight.

Then, just after we boarded a slightly delayed metro train for the last couple of stops, someone poked his head in and asked if there was a physician on the train before running on to the next car. I don’t know if it was related at all to the plane incident — seems unlikely to me — but someone was being attended to on the platform. And, as our train pulled out of the station a firetruck and ambulance pulled up.

That was a lot of flashing lights. I hope all involved are OK and I’m glad we were just bystanders.
