Lucky Timing

An aspect of my visit to the Lazy Q Ranch yesterday that I failed to mention, was the fact that we spent an hour at a dead standstill on the highway to La Grange. A serious accident occurred less than 2 minutes in front of us that required a medical airlift. At first, I thought we were unlucky to have not started our journey a few minutes earlier. The more that I thought about it, however, I realized we were very lucky to have left exactly when we did. When traffic started moving again, I could see only one car off the road. Presumably, another was also involved and had been moved to the shoulder.
