I’ve been working my ass off lately, and decided today would be a good day to leave work early, at 6PM, and treat myself to an evening commute in daylight. Best laid plans, etc, as a major accident on I-95 intervened. This accident happened at 2PM, and I was aware that I-95 south had been closed. My commute doesn’t involve driving on I-95, and I’m heading north, while the accident was to the south. What the hey, I should be good, right?

Nope. Bail-out traffic off the 95 clogged side streets, parkways, and alternate routes. My 45 minute commute turned into a 1.5+ hour adventure, and I arrived home in the dark yet again. If we ever need to evacuate this region, we won’t be able to.

Might as well have stayed in my shabby cubicle, and worked on packaging up the latest openSSH.
