Coffman vs. Escalator, Escalator Wins Every Time.

Not sure how I managed to avoid spilling my coffee.

Not sure what happened to you, but escalators can be really mean.

I had a disagreement with the escalator at Western.

Running behind this morning, I got my coffee and exited Dunkin' Donuts at exactly the right time to hear "Attention Customers: an inbound train toward the loop will be arriving shortly." I rushed through the turnstile and started taking the steps on the escalator 2 at a time to make sure I didn't miss my train.

I tripped on the last step and went down hard on my left knee. There are metal teeth marks in my pants and my knee got chewed up a little. If I'd been wearing shorts, I'd probably be in the hospital. No fun.
