My son just texted me and he said, not a lot going on right now. Hope it stays that way.

Traffic all over BR looks fine. I doubt you'll run into too many issues unless some moron decides to cause a major accident.

Same

If I remember right, they only suspended classes for 2 weeks, but it was 1 week into the semester.

I remember helicopters constanlty landing and unloading at the track stadium, turning the PMAC into a field hospital of sorts and the underground practice facitly into a morgue.

Crazy times

Sounds about right.

What I distinctly remember is that classes resumed before my apartment was restored power (was living at the Venue at the time, which is on the same power grid as OSBR) by several days. I slept in my living room on the recliner with the balcony doors open, getting eaten alive by mosquitoes.

But, that did prompt one of my favorite random little moments of college: because I had no electricity (and therefore no air conditioning or internet), I would hang out in the Cox building before a late afternoon/evening class. Air conditioning, internet, and a power jack in every chair. It was wonderful. And because the room was so big, no one noticed or gave a shite that I wasn't actually in the class.

Anyway, a girl (not beautiful, but a solid IRL 7.5) in the row in front of me starts chatting me up before class starts. For whatever reason, it comes out that I'm not in the class at all, and I explain why I'm there. Class starts, she's still talking to me. It's not my class, so I don't much care. She then proceeds to climb over her row of chairs (for those who have never been in that building, it's a huge auditorium that fits like 800 and has stadium style seating), sits next to me, and continues chatting me up.

Class ends, she gets up to leave, and I don't move, because my class is actually going to be starting now. She stops, looks me straight in the eye, and tells me that if I don't want to deal with my electricity-less apartment, I was welcome to sleep at her place tonight.

I smiled, told her I appreciated it, but that I had to pass. She nodded and walked down the stairs.

My then girlfriend (now wife) lived out of state, but to this day, I'm still not sure how 18 year old me managed to turn her down in that moment...
