Late yesterday afternoon traffic slowed in the bay area before coming to a halt for the rest of the night.

Unbeknown to me, a major bridge across the bay was closed.

This morning, Ron quipped about the closure during his morning meeting.

"Funny story!" an employee called out.

"When I finally got home last night, I was watching the news with my girlfriend. They closed the bridge because some guy was threatening to jump off. We decided he just needed to jump.

Then the phone rang. It was my girlfriend's mother calling to tell her it was her brother."

Ooopsss...

Compassion universally fades quickly as six lanes of the freeway gridlock for hours and hours and hours...along with every byway and highway.
