Lived it.

Gate heading from Morse onto Hillsborough. Slowed to flash card but saw gate was open. Approached slowly to make sure it stayed open - came down when I was within two feet. Fortunately, brakes worked well. Lucky.

Don't know why it was stuck open and don't know why it decided to close when it did but I'm a bit less trusting now.
