It's nice outside

Well. It is late on Sunday night, I still have quite a lot to write, but I am taking a break to update.

The snow is gone and the weather is perfect for bicycle riding.... to and from the library. I am glad to be able to bicycle without my hands going numb from the cold(this is why I haven't ridden in quite a while), but I do miss the snow a little bit.

I bought a fan for my window(one of the ones that sits in the windowsill with two fans and they can blow in and out at the same time... because summer is coming up soon--- although peopel that have lived up here have said... well, not really, the lake is still 30 some degrees. So, we'll see, I will update you on how quickly I begin to complain about heat.

Hopefully not soon! In the mean time, I will take full advantage of saving time and enjoying the air by riding the bicycle, Maxine, everywhere that is bicyclable.

So, who doesn't like photographs?? (no one).

This is a VERY old photograph(well, not that old, from like January), just for you (mom and dad):

I am going to add some completely unrelated photographs because it is WTUL's Marathon!! and I am excited for them, and miss the radio station(luckily we Can listen online at http://www.wtulneworleans.com.

(a very old photograph circa Spring 2007)





This snow is gone.... :(



This is Inside Harper Library, not a frequent study spot... I usually go to Regenstein which is much more drab and much less majestic.

This is actually a recent photograph of a manhole cover in Pilsen. I had to go do some supplementary field work there this past weekend, a march and rally went through the neighborhood and ended up at a little weird plaza/island thing. Photographs and possible analysis forthcoming!
