Another entry in the "not mindful" category. This time it was me, following, of all things, a yoga class that should have left me focused and undistracted. But, no...
I waltzed into the Takoma Metro Station, through the turnstile, and headed for the right-most of the 3 escalators while looking at the status board to see when the next train was coming. The board was showing a general message, not the train times, so I kept my attention on it expecting it to change any second.
Next thing I knew my foot was on the escalator, but I was attempting to go upstream. I jumped off in surprise and collected myself. They do change the directions of these escalators - sometimes having two up and one down - sometimes the other way - and it isn't always the same pattern. All the more reason to "pay attention, dude!"
