Chariot of Doom

As the train pulled up about 5 minutes late this morning, fellow rider L -- I don't want to use his full name -- announced loudly, "the chariot of doom arrives." It's the first time I heard our morning train so characterized but I kind of liked it, expecially today as we are getting progressively later with each stop we make.  No explanation for the cause of the lateness, but it is raining outside.  I guess rain and chariots don't mix.
