Today was not a good day to be on Highway 30. I normally get home in 20 minutes - it took almost an hour. Would have been over an hour if I didn't exit early and take a few back roads. :D I'm not sure what it was that's backing up traffic past my apartment complex, but there were two other accidents on the way, both slowing traffic even more, and probably both caused by the main backup.

Ah well. I'm home now.

When I lived in Denver we had someone's car get struck by lightning and set on fire on the freeway! I wasn't anywhere nearby, but it was all over the radio. :D

And a couple of years ago here, someone's truck caught on fire and delayed my homebound journey - took an hour and a half instead of 20 minutes - and you can still see the scorch marks on the highway divider. That was the summer that it was so dry we were having grassfires all over the roads from people flipping cigarettes out windows, so there were lots of delays when the fire trucks were out fighting them. :)

That is awesome! I kinda want to move to Texas now. You have exciting people and events, hell you even get the exciting traffic.
