Thankfully yesterday's drive home was far less dramatic than the drive down. Five hours and twenty minutes beats two days. Drama-free save for the latest kink in Louisville traffic: I-64 W to I-65N is now one of those "You Can't Get There From Here" things, at least not without taking a scenic detour through the streets of downtown L'ville.
I have got a positively blinding headache. Perhaps blog content will appear after it disappears.

We're glad you made it home safely.
ReplyDeleteSorry about that. They were worried that the bridge for I-64 might collapse, so they closed it. Then they closed the I-64 to I-65 exit so that people wouldn't kill themselves merging. Now you have to change over on I-265 or I-264 about 10 miles out.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home, with empathy. Kentuckiana is touched by the Ice Devil. One of the worst all-day drives of my life was the hundred miles between Evansville and Louisville via the iced-up old two-lanes, before I-64 was even a gleam in a paving contractor's eye.
ReplyDelete+1 for what DaddyBear said. I live east of 264 in Louisville, its a decent town except for the freeways oh and the screaming liberal hippies.
ReplyDeleteI'm stuck on I-65 just south of L'ville today. Multi-vehicle wreck. Been here two hours. No telling when they'll get us moving again.
ReplyDeleteFlashing lights, ambulances, firetrucks, haz-mat trucks. This one might make the news.
The 265 bypass bridge is long overdue. Glad KY & IN got together and will make bypassing Louisville a reality.
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it back. I am at home from work for a variant of your ailment. Get better soon.
ReplyDeleteTam:
ReplyDeleteHave you had your eyes checked lately? The headache could be from two visual signals being too far apart to be integrated without overworking the central processor. eg: maybe one eye has an astigmatism, and the other eye doesn't, or has an opposing astigmatism.
Or it could be that you just have light-colored eyes and you used them too long without sunglasses (glare protection) and a hat (shade) on a bright day in an open-topped car.
