Good morning, Washington. The Brookland-CUA Metrorail station was closed for about ninety minutes last night after another person intentionally placed themselves on the tracks in front of an oncoming train. Last night’s incident pushes the number of suicides in Metrorail stations this year into double digits. WMATA says that at about 9:18 p.m., a man who had gone on to the tracks was struck by a Red Line train heading in the direction of Shady Grove, dying of his injuries. Trains were single tracking through the station for some time last night, but the area is now clear — aside from the weekend’s planned track work, of course.

Scanning the news this morning:

>> WaPo food critic Tom Seitsema pens “game plan, based on suggestions from industry insiders, for making the most of your meals away from home.” His findings, in so many words: everyone, please stop acting like an ass.

>> For those who maintain eggnog, sweaters, and decorating parties as a December institution: Garden District at 1740 14th Street will be receiving their big shipment of fir trees, destined for tinsel and ornaments, on Sunday.

>> If you’ve ever watched the HGTV reality show Real Estate Intervention, you know that the whole thing is one big good cop/bad cop routine. The show specializes in yo-yoing the emotions of people who are looking to sell their home due to terrible financial circumstances and/or mismanagement, mostly through lectures from a tough-looking real estate adviser. If revealing all your major money issues, crying, and getting yelled at on cable television sounds like how you want to sell your home, well, HGTV wants to talk with you.
