Lehigh Acres, Florida
12/2022
One night my wife and I were visiting with my brother and his wife who live 10 miles away from us, a 17 minute drive.
Just a few minutes before 9pm we get in our car to head home. We start off on our drive and there is very little traffic. Typical for 9PM on a weekday.
Keep in mind that although this is a short drive, it goes down a road called State Road 82 in Lehigh Acres Florida which has had MANY MANY deaths from car accidents (Google if you would like). This section of SR 82 is very eerily lit with brand new giant street lights ( installed as a response to the accidents)
We are driving down SR 82, and are about halfway home, when we realize that it took us a long time to get halfway home... it was already 9:30 which means we were driving for about 30 minutes. We should have already been home by now. We make this drive frequently. I could make this drive from muscle memory. I have no idea how this happened.
Once we became focused on how long the drive was taking, we made it the rest of the way home about 9 minutes later. We spent about 39 minutes on a 17 minute drive and neither my wife nor I have any idea where that time went.
