Meanwhile, back at the ranch...well, at work, anyway...I venture out on the roads to make my way home...all day we've heard the the main access road is not moving at all, I found myself sitting...& waiting...took 1 1/2 hour to go the 1/2 mile to that main road...2 1/2 hrs after I left, I stop to call my wife & tell her that I'm actually farther from home than where I started...can't get to the roads I want to go, forced to crawl along following the flow (such as it is)...that little stop turned out to be perfectly timed, traffic finally started to move at a slow but steady rate...didn't run into any more jams, but still going very slowly, thinking "Don't get home fast...just get home!"
Pulled up the my home, parked across the street, THREE & ONE-HALF HOURS after leaving work, normally a 20-30 minute drive...

Still a little stressed out now, but I hope to sleep well tonite...
