Slow going late this morning ...

Getting to Tucson from Phoenix took forever last night. Yes, it was after midnight when I set out, but I was feeling pretty ticked off when I hit the road construction at that hour. I cursed, and swore - and tried not to rubberneck when I passed all the flashing lights off to the side.
I was a bit embarrassed I admit at my reaction once I saw the collapse of the ramp. It looks like there was a bad accident or something, but we were being waved past.
I think there were several injured - I saw several folks who appeared dazed stumbling about. One I saw just before driving past seemed to stumble right into the arms of the paramedics and I hear screams - they sounded terrible.
All the closed I would have normally taken were closed - so I went up through northwest - dark, quiet. I admit I was getting pretty tired. There seemed to be a lot of emergency lights though.
This morning, things are strangely quiet. Not as much traffic as I'd expected and it seems there are a lot of folks out. Haven't heard of folks calling in though.
I'm going to walk over to the cafeteria I think, see if I can get a bead on the gossip.
