Left at 17.30 - partly because I wasn't sure how much longer this would go on but mostly because I was getting ravenously hungry - got home in time to catch the final at-bats on the radio. Had a bit of a bus jam at Pentagon City, as other buses normally serving Pentagon were re-deployed to Pentagon City for some reason.
