I spent a lot of time sitting still on the highway this evening. Interstate 65 North started turning into a parking lot just after 4:30 p.m. Once I got past one wreck, traffic would speed up for a mile or so and then come to a screeching halt and all you could see was brake lights.
I finally navigated through downtown and made it to my exit. I went about three miles on Arkadelphia Road and in the middle of nowhere, traffic stopped again. I sat there for twenty minutes before traffic began to move. I didn't see any wreckers or emergency vehicles and when I got up to the accident scene, apparently several people got out of their cars to help push the wrecked car out of the roadway. Apparently someone had lost control, hit a tree and ended up back in the road.
I got home an hour late but when I walked in the door I smelled supper on the stove and my blood pressure dropped twenty points.
There is no place like home
Don't forget to thank your wife for the dinner, cause her day wasn't any better.
ReplyDeleteI would never forget to thank my wife no matter what kind of day it has been.
