@janetfwv Between the sun and the heat during the first half and the thunderstorms after that, it was a bit of a trying day in someways, but still fun.

I was at the PSU/WVU football game yesterday, and I was tickled to see that the locals made such a special effort to welcome me.

@mtp5 I hope you had a nice time in Morgantown!

Watching The Bridge on the River Kwai on TCM, and I come to find out that the French author of the book, Pierre François Marie Louis Boulle (20 February 1912 – 30 January 1994) also wrote the book Planet of the Apes (1963)

Who knew?

I took a lot of classes earning three degrees in Civil Engineering, and I don’t remember any of this material being covered in any of those courses.
