The Daily Commute

Today was a day of accidents.

I saw three ambulances on my way to work, one accident just before the intersection of Bruce B. Downs and 138th Street, one disabled truck on the side of northbound I-275 just after the Fowler exit.

Another accident close to the Sligh Avenue exit on the same route.

Nothing major, small incidents that clog the roadways. Nothing that can be used as an excuse to be late to work.

Drove to work at 20 mph on an interstate with the minimum speed limit of 40.

Took one hour to cover 16 miles.

Did I mention it is a Monday morning?

An article a few days ago said Tampa would soon have traffic like Atlanta (in the year 2010).

Is it 2010 already?
