Happy New Year! We started out with a sherbert punch and hor d'oeuvres for the new year! And traveled to Cookeville on January 3 for a donut run to Big O's and Ralph's!
I organized a display to recognize 20 years of the library blog. Guess who wrote the first blog post 20 years ago for the library? Me! So I was recognized on our library instagram as well.
We had a fun visit from grand-dog Pixel and her mommy during January! That was fun!
Random images captured. A former colleague's lament about post covid people, vultures circling the sky above campus, a big mural on the side of a liquor store, a streaking light across a mauve sky.
One of my pet peeves about time zones is that there are counties placed in the wrong time zone. Thankfully I found this image that indicates the counties highlighted in red that should be shifted westward in time. For example, Chattanooga and Atlanta should be in the Central Time Zone. The Texas panhandle, OKC, Hays, Grand Island should be in the Mountain Time Zone. Not too many counties need to be shifted to Pacific Time Zone - mostly in Idaho.
As a person who studies maps for fun, I have found Interstate 29 to be pretty much a stateline hugger. This image validates my view. I drove I-29 a bit during my undergraduate years in Iowa -- South Dakota and Iowa primarily.
Love how my hair looks in this picture!
I caught this train silhouette while on campus - a very common sight during the winter and the leaves are not blocking the view. I used this picture for my park and recreation month slide show for campus.
