We all got up early so I could follow Kristi to her car place where she'd drop the car off for servicing then I'd drive her to work. We were almost there when everything came to a dead stop because the police had the road blocked off for nearly half a mile around the car place due to an accident or something. There was no relief in sight so she continued on to work and I came home. Later we learned that twenty minutes after that, they were clearing whatever it was and everything was wide open. Of course when you're there, you can't know how long it's going to take, so you have to make a decision right then. But the morning appointment and whatever else people had going on was utterly wasted.
