Wrong Turn

Well yesterday I was reading the Atlantic magazine article on the 100 most influential Americans Brigham Young and Joseph Smith made the top 100.

Well because I was reading the magazine instead of reading the signs I walked on the wrong train and I instantly knew it wasn't the right place. Washington DC is a very segregated city the African Americans mostly live in the eastern half of the city i.e. Columbia Heights Anacostia and the whites and many Asians live in the western half of the city i.e. Georgetown and Bethesda.

I took the east bound train instead of the west bound train. So instead of the trains passengers being 80 to 90 percent white its was 80-90 percent black. It was a your not in Kansas anymore moment.
