I have been subjected to not just traffic jams, but the strangest traffic jams in the world lately. Apparently, I can't be on the road without some horrific accident happening, usually about 20 miles and 3 hours of crawling traffic ahead of me. I think everyone got caught in the chemical spill if you were on I-35 South from Dallas to Waco coming back from Thanksgiving weekend. When I went home this past weekend, more strangeness ensued.
On the way, there was a sizeable slowdown because a horse carrier had been in a 3 car accident. The horse was (I think) alive - I thought I saw it move - but it was lying down on the side of the road with a blanket over it. Probably broke a leg or two. Not good.
Then, on the way back, I took 2 1/2 hours to go 3 miles as a semi had apparently burst into flame. It was still smoking as I went by. (Needless to say, I spent a large portion of these 2 1/2 hours calling Jon and bugging him about everything under the sun. It's my way of coping with impatience - making someone else impatient.)
I'm praying to the traffic gods that it doesn't happen again this weekend. More importantly, that I'm not the cause of it.
Law school. Marriage. New town. Let's see if she survives.

I was driving to Dallas this Saturday around 3:30, and I couldn't believe how many accidents there were! It felt like every two miles there was some kind of traffic jam due to an accident. I thought it was just holiday/weekend traffic. Apparently, it all came from you. Hmmm....
