The story of my life. Today didn't go the way we thought it would. We figured we would get, at least, to Nashville today, but with two places along I-40 that had major road work going on (we probably lost around 10 minutes each) and then a major accident that closed the interstate and we sat for about 50 minutes, we couldn’t go any further.
Why does this sound familiar?

Rich Being stuck on the road can be so frustrating. I feel your pain. Renee and I started out for Boise last month in plenty of time for a dental appointment, or so we tlhought. A car broke into flames on Horseshoe Bend Hill. I guess the 7% grade was too much for a 1990 Fiat from California. The owners could have pulled their smoking car off the road, but no, they managed to block both lanes. We couldn't go foward, coundn't turn around and go back. Just stuck there for over an hour watching black smoke and the HSB firedepartment learn how to deal with burning rubber. We missed our appointment.
