Characters Welcome

It certainly is a cast of characters that commute daily to and from D.C.  I've started creating names for them and I'd like to introduce them to you.

The voice -- I'm not sure who he is, but every morning as we arrive into Union Station, he speaks up loud enough for everyone in the car to hear and wishes us all a good day.  On Thursdays, he wishes everyone a good weekend.  Friday there was just silence upon arrival at Union Station.  So sad.  Someday I'll actually see who's saying those words.

Orange hat lady -- She's a napper and immediately upon taking her seat, she pulls her orange knit hat from her bag and puts it on her head and over her eyes.  Then she leans back and catches a few zzzzs as we make our way to the city.  I'm jealous.

The conductor -- I don't know whether they are actually called conductors anymore, but the evening MARC rep that requests tickets is always pleasant and helpful, especially to first-time riders. 

I'm sure this list will grow as I continue to commute, but keep the cast in mind as stories about them are sure to follow.
