What a Strange Drive Home

[queenoftheskies]

Streets were blocked. Freeways closed. Traffic was stopped.

(Keep in mind that I only work 10 minutes from home, so the fact that I couldn't get home was significant.)

Stopped at Smart & Final to pick up a few things and the checker told me there had been a bank robbery a couple of miles from where I live.

The robber had shot the guard in the leg and the head and when the police arrived and he was trapped, he stabbed himself in the stomach and died.

So...streets blocked off leading to the street the bank was on. (Street I live on...at the opposite end.) Freeway going that direction closed.

I had to get on the freeway going the OPPOSITE direction I wanted to go, head back to work, and come home the back way.

Whew!
