ESCALATOR!!

I was leaving the Mustek metro station today and the escalator was shut down.  So, I had to climb this enormous escalator.  Let me just say that it was a mini Mt. Everest!!  My thighs were BURNING by the time I got to the top!  ha ha.  The whole time I was traversing it, a kind little voice said, "please exit the escalator.  When every one is  off it will start up again."  A lot of good that does when you are already a quarter of the way up!!
