My wife is also stuck on this road (5 hours now) with no supplies. I’ve heard people with young children are also stuck without water / supplies. Feels crazy that it’s not standard practice to give out water during an incident like this in hot weather?

My wife is in the same situation- stuck with no water or supplies for over 5 hours. Will water be supplied to drivers?

The Friendship Bus arrives in Philly today. Once on-board, people are paired up with strangers and asked a series of questions to, hopefully, spark new relationships. trib.al/2NYyWRN

The Friendship Bus rolls into Philly this month to help people make connections

Staff will help spark conversations between strangers while parked at LOVE Park or driving around the city.

Loneliness is not something we like to talk about, is it, so I’m grateful to Lee Thompson, co-founder @flashpack for chatting so openly about his campaign to make more friends in midlife. I’m sure lots ppl will relate. Latest for ⁦⁦⁦⁦@yahoolife. uk.style.yahoo.com/lonely-mi…

I was so lonely I held up a sign saying, 'Do you want to be my friend?'

Lee Thompson, 42, was deeply lonely, having focussed on his business at the expense of his friendships. Here's how he shook up his social life.
