What Happened to the Traffic?

This morning as I was getting ready for work, the local news channel showed a camera shot of I-77 which is my route to work. She showed one particular pesky exit where traffic always backs up and said, “Wow – look at that backup! You might want to give yourselves a few extra minutes this morning to get through this if you are coming north into Charlotte.” I saw that cars were moving slowly, but she then claimed cars were at a “dead stop.”

Taking heed of her warning, I left 10 minutes early.
And got to work 15 minutes early.

Because there was NO traffic when I got there fifteen minutes after her dire announcement. In fact, there was less traffic than usual, thus my ability to do the drive five minutes faster than most mornings.

*sigh*

The good thing about getting here early is that I was able to do a quick filing project that has been languishing because I just never had time.

    Funny, our traffic report said “heavy but steady” all the way to work.
    Reality: DEAD STOP most of the way in. Why: State Police had someone
    pulled for a HOV violation and everyone wanted to see!! I hate traffic!

    Okay, that’s a whole bunch of commenting for me this week. [backs into
    lurkdom]….
