Technology is the best: my sunglasses snapped in half while I was sitting at the beach yesterday afternoon. I learned two things: that metal-looking hinges are often just spray painted cheap plastic, and that I could print a stronger replacement part in the time it took me to reapply sunscreen.

Anyone know anything about homing pigeons? This one appears to have had a bit of a close encounter with my front window.

Seems shaken but unpreturbed.

Here is the bust of the Greek goddess Hygeia being installed in front of Building 1 in 1970, and again in 1976. You can still find it if you look around campus carefully today.
