Traffic!
I left work today at 2:30 and just got home at 8pm. My commute is 9 miles.
Okay, so that includes a couple hours spent at Christa & Luke's house while I was waiting for the traffic to ease up, but that never happened. As I was getting onto the 91 fwy from I-15 I saw the 91 was stopped, but I didn't react fast enough, and I'm just not one of "those guys" who drive over the dirt. I just figured I'd get off at the next exit (McKinley) and drive home on Magnolia. Boy was I mistaken.
I did get off at McKinley, but both Magnolia and Indiana were completely stopped as well. I decided to drive back towards Corona where I could spent a couple hours at Christa & Luke's house. Dinner was great (thanks Christa) and then I decided to try again. I got off at Magnolia only to find the same thing -- stopped traffic. When I turned on the radio I heard it was backed up all the way to Imperial in Anaheim.
Just then I had this great plan! I drove back over the hill to the 15 and went back up to Limonite and over to Van Buren -- it took me 15 minutes to get home. I don't know why that never occurred to me earlier, but it worked great.
There was a Sigalert just before Pierce st. A semi truck rolled over, there was fire and another car involved. That was before 1pm, and it's now past 8pm and the lanes are still closed.
