Burning houses

As I drove our daughter to Science Club this morning it was one of those days when traffic was unbearable. (I have a theory to suggest about morning rush-hour traffic...more of that anon.) As it turns out the hold-up on our little section of the funnel was not caused by Clark's Theory of Traffic Flow but by the fact that the boom gates at the Glenalta crossing would not go up.
Despite that, listening to Matt and Dave, their traffic report suggested that traffic had slowed on Main Road to look at house that had burnt down during the night...and Oh incidentally the boom gates were down too....... I drove back wondering whether or not we would still be having a problem. Matt said Charming! We are amazing aren't we, slowing down to look at the burnt house.
All was well! But, I didn't see any burnt down house going or coming!
