Today was an exceptionally long ride into work. Now, I know I am a good maybe 40 miles away, and I expect it to take a while. Usually an hour. But today was rediculous. I had heard on the radio that there was an accident on my main route, the Florida's Turnpike just before the toll plaza approaching Commercial Blvd. So, instead, I drive out West to Rock Island, and make my way South to Commercial so I can get on the Turnpike from there. Okay, fine. I wanted to try out that new SunPass entry. I have always been quite impressed with Florida's Turnpike. It is a well maintained road, barely any trucks, almost always free-flowing. So, I get in between I-595 and Griffin Rd and notice an undercover FHP car in the median with his lights on. I have noticed them do this a few times now, to get people to slow down for an upcomming traffic jam. Just a little further ahead, traffic came to a crawl. At this point, it had already been an hour since I left home, so the thought of another holdup was a little bothersome. But, I really didn't mind. The music was good, and it gave me a chance to do a bit of thinking about things. All in all, I enjoyed it, especially since there was always a slow flow, no stop-and-go which I can't stand. After a few miles of this, I see what the holdup was. A rather large accident involving an upside-down minivan, and many other vehicles. In the OTHER lane! Now this is what bothers me... The Southbound lane was just fine! Why do these people find it necessary to STOP, or at least slow down drastically, to take a good look, and foul up traffic for miles? I don't know. They should all get rear-ended! But, I will stop now. It really didn't bother me that much today, but I thought it worth mentioning.
