We were driving happily along on our last vacation, when - out of the blue - traffic slowed, then came to a standstill! Five minutes passed. Eventually a few people gingerly got out of their cars to peer down the road, trying to see what the problem was. But there were only standing vehicles as far as the eye could see.
More time passed. More and more people got out of their cars and started walking around, chatting...
I couldn't bring myself to leave the car, but Terry got out to try to find out what the problem was. Maybe someone knew. But nobody did - so he continued chatting with drivers who had congregated on the median.
It did help pass the time. An hour later, as suddenly as it had stopped, traffic slowly started moving again. Off we all went...
(We never did find out what had caused the delay!)
