Adventure Time

Fio went out on a quick errand to pick up Fix-a-flat for husband's car, amd as she drove down Hwy 29, she noticed there was an unusual build-up of traffic. Then she noticed there was a big white truck that hadn't been able to make the turn blocking the north lane at the intersection of 29 and the I-35 frontage road.

Eventually your faithful correspondent got through to the gas station on the southeast corner of 29 to buy the Fix-a-flat, but then she had to work out a way to get home. Clever girl that she is, she maneuvered out into the traffic going east, the opposite direction from her destination, turned south into a shopping cennter, turned around, drove north under the protection of a traffic light, then drove west into the H-E-B parking lot. From there, she thought she would ease onto the I-35 frontage road, then turn onto Williams Drive, a road which parallels 29, and sail home.

The only problem was that a lot of other people were just as clever as Fiorella. That "quick errand" ended up being an hour-long jigsaw puzzle.
