life, interrupted

at close to midnight J1 drives into a traffic snarl. the beltway lanes are shut down because of a vehicular accident and the cars come to a standstill.

J1 wanders out of the car to hang out with strangers who become friends after an hour. they commemorate it with a shoulder to shoulder group photograph. this is a new twist on making lemonade, i suppose.

back east, such bonhomie is less likely. what is more certain in singapore is that bystanders will parlay the experience into a 4-D* buying opportunity.

*a public betting pool. in a traffic accident the plates of vehicles involved will naturally inspire the permutation of digits that bets are placed upon.
