Thanks to this:

That is one of the 20+ mile bridges on I-10 over the Atchafalaya basin. Once it happened, they diverted traffic on the west side of the Mississippi River bridge. I took the alternate route (Hwy 190) about 15 miles to the north, but traffic was snarled in all the small towns along the way.

Let’s hope the rest of the week goes better.

That's a heck of a burn out!

First laugh since I left the house at 2:15 this afternoon.

Yeah, the first time I drove on the Atchafalaya viaducts I imagined exactly this scenario and imagined that people who get stuck on it can’t do anything but sit and wait. Thanks for confirming it.

The other interesting thing about that time was the bugs splattered on the car. Good grief, I must have made a whole species extinct that day.

It was probably love-bug season. Don’t worry, there’s a never-ending supply, so squash all you want!

I’d have to be paid about a million dollars a year to commute more than ten miles on the I10.

Right, it was . Fortunately, I drove through heavy railfall shortly after, which washed the bugs off entirely.

I blame Dave Robicheaux.

Which version? The books, Tommy Lee Jones, or Alec Baldwin?

Definitely the books. He’s such a raw character, I almost have to prepare myself to read those books.
