135 minutes

My usual 50-60 minute morning commute took me 135 minutes this morning. Yes, two and a half hours to go 35 miles. And it was all because of a car accident that happened about 20 miles away ON ANOTHER ROAD!!!! I take I-90 into the city. I-90 intersects with another major highway, Rt. 128/I-95. It can be a fairly busy interchange even on a slow day because a lot of people get off and head either north or south on 128/95 because there are a number of large companies along that highway. Apparently there was an accident on 128/95 today that caused a 20 mile back-up which then in turn affected all the highways, including I-90, that feed into 128/95. It was absolutely insane. Luckily I left the house at about 7:35 this morning. I was aiming to get to work by 9 a.m. but instead managed to get there at 9:50 a.m. We open at 10.
