Aaron, you lucked out.

You cold have been stuck in rush hour traffic.

My daily commute was Stratford to Stamford and back.

I left home at 12:30 to be at work by 2pm and sometimes the 45 minute drive crawled into 90 minutes.

Then there was night construction on the way home and at the time I was glad I didn't live in Milford else I'd have to pass through a second construction zone.

All this before the work on the Housatonic bridge began.

As Dave said, you're lucky.
It's a parking lot from the state line up into Fairfield after 2:30 or so.
Fortunate to average 20 mph northbound in the afternoon.

You should have given me a call, I would have brought you coffee or something.

Just like you need to give me a call when you're up my way, Jim. I still owe you coffee or whatever you'll have for checking up on my truck when I blowed it up last fall.

I don't go anywhere after 7AM, or before 7PM.
It can still be a disaster.
And now that they're widening I-95 in Norwalk between X14 & X15 it's going to get worse, MUCH WORSE, before it gets better.

Sometimes I just want to put it in 4Lo and push all the idiots out of my way.

We were over on Horse Pond Rd around 2:00 and it sprinkled just a little. Not much but just a touch. Got pretty dark.
