of course, my selfish mind said for a moment - gee, i hope this is a wreck instead of post-thanksgiving rushing home traffic so once we pass it the traffic will let up. but then i removed that wish from my brain - i'd rather have bumper to bumper traffic on I-85 than have someone gravely injured and/or dead. once the tow truck and ambulance passed (in that order) i knew it was a wreck, and when the sirens were in my sight, i cringed. not a good way for someone to end the holiday.
when we finally approached the wreck, it turned out to be a four car fender bender. all cars were safely out of the traffic lanes. no one seemed to be hurt. a girl was cuddling her dog. wtf? everyone has to slow down to look. this is our nature. if we did not need to slow down and look, i could have been home 45 minutes earlier.
did i slow down and look? heck yes.
