On Monday, my trek to work took the expected 12 minutes. For no apparent reason, it took 50 minutes to travel the same distance on the way home that evening. It always takes a few minutes longer to get home at night, but generally only about 16 or 17 minutes. I realize that many folks have a normal commute of 50 minutes or more and that I'm most fortunate to have such a normally short time in transit. Regardless of the length of our commute, when the time triples, it's not good.
Thankfully the trip home on Tuesday was back to normal at 16 minutes. My commute anomaly is a reminder that when things go awry, it may be only a temporary glitch, and a new day will restore normalcy.
