I decided I&#8217;d just follow the person in front of me, since they seemed to know where they were going (a la Dirk Gently). When they followed most of the traffic and made a left turn onto a road I followed and ignored the big ole line of traffic exiting the road.<\/p>\n<p>Driving down this little road, past a couple buildings and then I see A DEAD END! It&#8217;s a rounded dead end and everyone is turning around and getting into that big ole line to exit the road.<\/p>\n<p>HAHAHA! I AM SUCH A SHEEP! WE SUCK! <lj-cut>How absolutely amusing! I couldn&#8217;t help grinning while sitting in that line of traffic for 10 minutes, watching all the other people driving past me who would soon be in line behind me.<\/p>\n<p>And then the traffic coming the other way stopped. I thought about this. Either: a) people stopped being sheep (HAHAHA) OR b) the detour is no longer there. So I figured that instead of following everyone again, making the terrible left out of that silly dead end road to follow the detour, I&#8217;d go right, back to 73 to see if the detour was gone.<\/p>\n<p>My non-sheep brains were right, the detour was gone. I win!<\/p>\n<p>But what down this road could have caused them to close Route 73 during rush hour?<\/p>\n<p>I continued down 73 and it was closed down to one lane, passed a few firetrucks, police cars, and ambulence, then a tow-truck with a car on top that was crushed to about half of it&#8217;s original size. Ouch. But we all love to see a good accident.<\/p>\n<p>And after all this I got home right when I said I would.<\/p>\n<p>I was going to make this story fun, with pictures and much silliness, but my head started to hurt about halfway through writing this.
