So after work yesterday we had a lovely little happy hour. My former assistant was in town from Texas (or Tejas) to visit so all of the worker bees gathered at Stella's in old town. It was so nice to sit outside and enjoy the weather! Good times. Lots of laughs. Until...
We all leave to head home around 7:30. Thinking surely traffic will be all clear. Well, not so much. Apparently there was a chain reaction accident on 95S blocking and closing all lanes. Something like 15 cars??? I know there was at least 1 car under a tractor trailer and a fatality. So, it could have been worse for me. But shutting 95S for several hours around 6pm on the Thursday before Easter spells NIGHTMARE. I can't even imagine if we had to evacuate the DC region.
It took me 1.5 hours to go 17 miles. What would usually at that time of night take maybe 20 minutes.

yikes! I had something similar last night... every once in a while they take the harbor tunnel down to one tube with 2 way traffic... usually it's on a week night after 7, but since last night basically qualified as the 1st night of a holiday weekend, it was just BAD planning. It took me an hour to get from BWI to my house. That's 10 miles. UGH.
