It's currently 3:30 AM. I just arrived home after sitting in 6 HOURS worth of I-4 traffic due to an oil tractor trailer jack-knifing in the west bound lane. I got on I-4 by Disney, and had to go all the way out to Tampa. The first hour of traffic was due to the fact that 1/2 of the road is open into 3 lanes, the other half is down to one lane, so picture how fun that merging situation is.
The main problems was it took me 5 hours to get between Exits 33 and 31 due to that truck. There was no movement whatsoever for about 98% of the time, so we all just basically parked our cars and just kind of hung out.
During that time, I made friends with a few people. One of the guys happened to be one of my sorority sister's ex-boyfriend. He noticed I was wearing my KD windbreaker, and asked if I was a member at USF. Small world! I remembered him once he introduced himself. He pulled out some bottles of coke and a whole chocolate cheesecake that his mom had bought him. He was really nice and offered us all some. Finally, at about 3 am, the traffic started moving.
I'd like to thank my "cuh" Bobby for our convo, and I want to say SORRY because my stupid cell phone battery died on me!
