I had a date with a rather attractive lady in denver yesterday(a little more than an hour away).....and I really left my house too late, I had some different things that delayed me I forgot about, like getting gas, being out of washer fluid etc etc(all my fault). So by the time I actually hit the road I was already running late, despite being an hour away.
I don't know what happened but there must have been a traffic god, or at least deity, looking out for me.....no cops, open road, and an XJ going 90+ down the interstate. I don't think I could have asked for better traffic conditions for being the start of rush hour.
Ended up making it there at 4:51, only a single minute overdue.
