However, a wreck was blocking an area where there was no offramps or possible side roads. What should have taken less than a minute took 40 minutes. The wreck was in the absolute worst possible location. Had it been a quarter mile in either direction, things would have been slow, but still flowed.

Traffic in my area is horrendous and only getting worse. Another time this year, a torrential downpour and resulting traffic jams made me later than I wanted, but at least I got there before the V school! Its getting to where starting the first of 2 games at 6:00 is too early.

I was late once, fortunately it was the only JV/V doubleheader we do in our association and it was 3-man so my partners were able to start the JV game without me. Game was at a site where for me it's closer to take a ferry across the river. Unfortunately the largest ferry was out of service beginning Monday of that week. What normally would have taken about 40 minutes took over an 1 1/2 hours. Got there at the beginning of the 2nd quarter (6 minutes quarter for JV).
