Overnight, autumn blew in with a vengeance. Wind whipped the trees about, snapped branches and blew over flower pots, chairs and tables. Fortunately, the grill stayed on the deck. Windy and 61 degrees was beyond my temperature tolerance, so I'm having swimming withdrawal today. Instead, we walked three miles and visited with a few dear old friends that we encountered along the way. One of the interesting side effects of not swimming is that I did not fall asleep in the chair. Instead, I worked through the evening on organizing, cleaning and sorting my desk in preparation for the next season. Writing season!
Yesterday, we finally got into the new science building at the college. We've watched its progress from the initial ground breaking, through years of construction. It's not completely done, but close. Workers were installing equipment in the cafe and finishing up the giant lecture hall. Only a few of the labs and classrooms were being used at the time. We found the stairways to be quite narrow, but the great expanse of the lobby was quite impressive, though understated. It utilizes lots of natural light and was constructed to be a "green' building.
