Murphy’s Law for Thanksgiving
This year I will be driving to New Orleans again for Thanksgiving, like I did last year. Last year I made the drive in 4.5 hours and it was pretty smooth sailing. Unfortunately, it looks like this year is going to be different:
A 55 mile-stretch of a major interstate corridor from Houston to New Orleans will remain closed until at least Dec. 4 — forcing vehicles onto alternate routes during the year’s busiest holiday traffic season — because of a burning natural gas well.
Wonderful. Of course, this is the kind of thing that could only happen in Louisiana.
