4/23/05 Four dog night. I took this one over at the "Tech Center." It's where you can buy computer stuff, 'n stuff. They've got some weird sort of "subsity" going on, as one can only purchase stuff if [you're] a member of UAF, 'n stuff (They make one show one's ID, and everything.)---that, or maybe they're just helping "Big Brother" keep track of who's buying what in the way of computer stuff. . . . ;)
4/24/05 I thought that this was cool---squirrel-dude in a trashcan. :)
He was almost remarkably unconcerned about us being there; they're almost tame on campus. :)
4/25/05 At first, I couldn't figure out just how the dirt got on top of the "Jersey barrier." Then I came to realize: It was plowed up there, in a pile of snow higher than the top---then settled down as the snow melted. . . .
4/29/05 (Happy birthday, Joey - Dude!! :) :) ) A little library humor---"As I pondered weak and weary. . . ." :) :)
5/1/05 I thought that this one was really clever. :) It is the "tips" jar at the local coffeehouse, and says, "Support Counter Intelligence." I thought that that was really clever. :) (Yes. I know I am repeating myself. :) ) The dude who owns this place puts up lots of really cool and clever stuff. Somebody told me something about him reasonably recently---but the chick that did it babbled on so much that I couldn't even really listen to what she had to say. (And we're not even married! ;) )
5/2/05 As I have mentioned somewhere above, the winter of 2004-2005 was a heavy snow year (at least for the Interior). As the snow melted, previously "lost" things came to the surface---stuff like picnic tables, old vans, etc. :) Here, a wheelbarrow is surfacing from the deep, at the apartment complex where I live. -I'll bet they were wondering where that got to. . . . :)
5/4/05 I thought that this was pretty cool. Here is something that leaves nothing to doubt as to where some homework from a certain subject is supposed to go. :) (This is in the physics office at the Natural Sciences Facility.)
One of the instructors there showed me a trick I don't believe I'll ever forget: He opened the case (with a key), and put a paper marked something like "late" on top of the already submitted assignments---promptly at 5 PM. Everything above the paper was, necessarily, late. . . . -And the students have no inkling of that piece of paper's existence . . . unless, of course, they have happened upon my page. . . . ;) ;)
5/7/05 Huh. And I thought I had a problem with childish puns. . . .
Incidentally, another physics grad student had been driving in behind me, and he later told me that he just knew that I would stop and take a picture of this one. He knows me too well. :) ;) (Of note, I have a picture of this one (like, the physical place, 'n stuff) on another link---the one about when my Dad came to visit, 'n stuff. :)
On to more Alaska pics.
