Crazy Traffic

It's a good thing we have this otherwise i would have to wait a couple weeks to share with u the rather interesting drive cassie and i had on the way to school. it started when we got to 696 and where the Star Southfield is. i think its like northwestern highway or something like that. anyway, we hit stop and go traffic. the odd thing was that ppl were going the wrong way on an entrance ramp to try and get off the highway. apparently at Orchard Lake road there was an accident or something that caused 696 to b shut down in both directions. cassie and i start to freak out a little and be like "what the hell is going on?" we turn on 950 am just in time to catch the weather and traffic on the 8's. at that exact moment the lady goes 696 has just been re-opened and he we start cruising again. she continues to warn drivers going east bound that some ppl have turned around and are heading the wrong direction to try and get off the highway. she warns the drivers to be careful and watch out for these idiots and no sooner had the words left her mouth then she goes "and there it is, we have an accident on east bound 696". oh, and when we were in the little pocket of stop and go we had to use the shoulder to go around a car that was stalled in the middle of the lane. all of which begs the question, How stupid are Michigan drivers???

Wait. Why would you ever use an *entrance* ramp to *exit*? That's so damaged.

Great first post Sean.

Glad you made it to school in one piece.
