I'm a little grumpy. Traffic was horrendous this morning. At around 4:20 AM, a big rig carrying a full load of cardboard boxes caught fire between San Jose and Morgan Hill and shut down northbound 101. Thankfully, no one was hurt and soon the highway patrol reopened two of the four lanes to let through some cars. By the time I got out of the house, the traffic girl said everything was backed up ten miles and warned everybody to expect two-hour delays. She recommended taking an alternate route. Because I always do what she tells me, I took Santa Teresa Boulevard, a two-lane back road. Instead of a 2.5-hour drive, I sat in traffic for an hour and a half, only three times longer than my normal commute. If I were to put things into perspective, this morning was a minor inconvenience. I can only imagine how grumpy the truck driver feels.
