THE DAY TBP ALMOST DIED IN A DITCH ON I-80

A few hours ago the odds of this post or any future post being made on TBP ever again looked awfully slim. Just another uneventful trip to Penn State.
Our multi-pronged moving of my youngest son into his apartment at Penn State Altoona and my older son into his house (shared with 15 other guys) at State College went so smoothly I almost couldn’t believe it. We drove my youngest with his stuff jammed into our ‘new’ Honda Civic (bought after crazy lady in BMW destroyed our other Civic several weeks ago).
Jimmy drove the Honda Insight with his stuff to State College. The car was going to stay with my youngest because Jimmy doesn’t need a car at Main Campus. Everything is walk-able and they have shuttle buses running everywhere. We unloaded Mike’s stuff yesterday afternoon and then had to make the inevitable trip to the Altoona Wal-Mart to pick up some remaining necessities.
