man it has been a long time since something was noteworthy and it has been insanely busy.

here i go, here i go, here i go now:

this is some sad news:

but as i understand it, Pastor Fred is with the Lord. thanks for being a great servant Fred.

today i saw 6 people wearing velvetine form fitting jump suits. i must have missed the memo. but i suppose mine is at the dry cleaners anyway.

ok so on what we call the cat walk, a sidewalk raised about 12 feet over new south green of OU incase the river floods, there is a brick wall by nelson dining hall. with all of the snow we got recently, the maintenace guys all have these little golf cart sized bulldozers to plow the snow. well this one guy was pushing all of the snow up against this old and deteriorating brick wall (4 feet tall about 12 feet wide) and it knocked the entire thing down 12 feet to the ground. no one was hurt. this is hilarious. another little bulldozer broke a piller close to nelson as well. such destruction. another reason why temporary housing that was supposed to last no longer than 30 yrs should not still be used almost 60 yrs later.

today's hero on my worst case senario calender is Ralph Nader, who wrote the book Unsafe at Any Speed. amazing. this one is for you lisa.

and speaking of lisa, i feel like i would like to dedicate this one to her as well: "Rhubarb is a vegetable, no matter what the government says: a member of the buckwheat family of herbaceous plants including buckwheat, dock and smartweed, which are characterized by having swollen joints, simple leaves, small petalless flowers and small, dry, indehiscent fruit. Indehiscent means `not dehiscent,' not opening at maturity to release the seed. So "indehiscent" means `hard, dry, holding onto the seed,' which actually describes Norwegians quite well. Most Norwegians consider dehiscence to be indecent. They hold the seed in. But rhubarb pie comes along in the spring, when we're half crazed from five months of winter -- it's the first fresh vegetable we get, and it makes us dehisce.� Carol Stocker, Rediscovering Rhubarb, Boston Globe, May 16, 1996.

Attention: people that wear white tennis shoes (or keds if you will) in the winter and wet dirty snow and then complain how their feet are wet and how it is annoying to clean their white shoes, buy some black waterproof boots and get over it, love jessm
