chris!
did you avoid the remnants of the blue trunk that was sitting in the lane
you were in on rte 71? i was about 10 cars behind you heading for the
turnpike and just barely missed it! i saw a lady stopped inspecting her
car's right front . it was one of those modern foot locker type of trunks.
blue panels with brass looking trim around all edges. oh yes i got a real
good look at it! and it was not a small suit case size either! it was big
and already missing the top lid. but still pretty intact .
chuck.
