Shorts

It was warm enough today to ride in shorts, only the second or third time. The wind was from the southwest and in those conditions I often ride over to the University main campus. Here is our new football stadium.According to the local news media we are all very proud of this new building. It looks much like the one they tore down 20 years ago when local business interests decreed that the University football team should move off campus to the at that time new downtown Dome. Business interests now think the team should move back to campus.

Personally, I think the money could be better spent on other University needs but I do approve of University athletic teams playing their home games on campus. The players are, after all, students.

The more things change, the more they remain the same. (Some French guy named Karr -- it's better in French. Plus ca change, plus ca meme change... missing a few accents and hangy things on the c's reduces the poetry a bit. Also used by G.B Shaw and Winston Churchill.)
