I drove back to my parent's house yesterday. I normally take a state route from I-74 to I-65. The former dips south to reach Indy, while the state route continues straight east. My exit is at mile marker 39.
About three miles prior, I reminded myself to get off. About a mile prior, a truck was transporting a rather large piece of yellow metal. Wasn't quite an engine, but captured my attention. There was a police escort, and traffic on the other side of the road was also backed up. Bottom line is that I forgot to get off.
Not a big deal, but adds 30 minutes to my drive, based on the one other time that I've done so. Turns out that this 30 minutes made my life much easier. There were massive storms traveling through NE Indiana yesterday afternoon. Had I been 30 minutes earlier, I would have been further up the interstate, about where I saw six semi's overturned. As it was, there were strong winds and buckets of rain.
At least I'm comfortable driving again.
