This past Thursday evening, Jill and I went out to Yamato - a hibachi grill in Columbia, SC - to celebrate her friend Jennifer's birthday. The drive from Orangeburg to Columbia normally takes us 45 minutes or less, depending on what part of town we're headed towards. This particular night, the trip took closer to two hours thanks to a rather horrid traffic accident on I-26 that involved several 18-wheelers, one of which dumped out several pallets worth of automotive batteries. Traffic was detoured off the interstate and onto an older highway; we were aware of this and decided to go ahead and make our way up to Columbia via this road. Little did we know that this decision would land us smack dab in the middle of one of the worst traffic jams of recent history in this part of the world.
Indeed, things seemed grim for us and our plans, and at one point we began to take stock of our supplies in fear that we'd need to ration them...
