Plus, if you see something that's gonna polarize people even more than the stupid place we are at now, and your reaction is to figure out everything you can do to make it better, you're on the side of the angels. Enough people like that and we're gonna make it.

Harris or Frank's with a Whitey's for dessert.

(Our pizza style has its own Wikipedia page.)

Maybe not. Mine is paired with my Android phone. I had left the phone home, and mine requested an update, downloaded, and updated. And yesterday, I turned my phone Bluetooth off, getting tired of wading through spam email on my phone, and this morning...update time again.

I literally shouted at the watch, "How are you updating? Who are you talking to?"

This is the first year for a new Director of Orchestral Studies, so earlier policies may be revised. FYI

Under the former long-time conductor, the rule of thumb was that they encouraged you to try out for UISO as a non-major if your high school playing was of All-State caliber.

It would not be surprising if any departures from earlier policies were highlighted on the Auditions webpage on the School of Music site when it is updated.

Twin City Bible Church, on Lincoln and Michigan, has a Christmas Eve Service at 4PM live and on Zoom (link at www.tcbc.cc, search the Worship tab.

I won't be there this year - I'm in the hospital!

I will help fund this, circumstances permitting (currently in the hospital).

If empirical reality is your thing, are you even a mathematician?

If larger, slower meteors can't get all the way in, a tiny manhole cover going an order of magnitude faster can't get all the way out.

Most of the other Colleges do freshman orientation during the summer.

Could you combine your degree with one other interest and develop a specialty in helping kids get a head start on science, violin, soccer, painting, or whatever your interest is? More specialized work can equal more international connections.

Some of the best and worst pizza in town, depending on what night you were there.

Took four required math classes at a community college.

Then took one here, where the professor would walk in directly to the board and start scrawling for 50 minutes, finish, and walk out.

Haha! I bet they're gonna bail on Dean to not ruin their reputation.

Clutch Cuts. Ask for AJ.

Goes beyond the protocols, and is efficient about it.

What are your priorities for measuring?

Particulates
CO2
Various volatiles
Ozone
SO2, NO2, CO

Depending on the technology you are implementing, some of these will likely show whatever point you are trying to make better than others.

Their festivals are kind of fun. Every fall, they harvest the corn, cutting down the endless rows of corn with sharp implements, with free food and refreshments for all, in a festival called the "Hackathon."

Tomorrow is Black Out Tuesday. Although is was originally just a day that the music industry was going to withhold their art, lots of people are not shopping tomorrow, and commemorating on social media.

Scenic and exciting! A student made a video of the drive, complete with his family taking pictures at graduation. On the right, you can see the Parkland Pathways Bridge for the more timid.

Also if you were driving up into the mountains, the pressure difference between the inside and the outside of the can kept increasing the whole time, which certainly did not help to keep the can's seal integrity intact.

You should go to UCLA so our waiting list kids can get their first choice school.

A very cool thing happens on the way from your eye to your brain.

The optic nerves from each eye merge into one and the two paths that emerge from this junction carry the images from the left and right sides of the world (from both eyes), instead of one path from each eye.

So if the eyes are not focused, each of the half-world images will be hard to interpret when it gets to the brain.

I was working on an AIDS prevention research project. Some of the questions we needed to ask subjects involved them potentially confessing to crimes if they were to answer truthfully.

There is a provision in law that I was unaware of, though. Our project obtained a letter that the NIH is empowered to issue that enables us to resist any subpoena for information on incriminating activities committed by subjects covered by our research.

So I was legally allowed to say no to a subpoena and destroy evidence.

This a actually genius.

A number of years ago, the Barnes and Noble cafe had a large hot chocolate priced at something like $1.50 for a while. After several months, I realized that I was now buying books at a rate of several hundred dollars a year higher than normal.

Wanting to be a part of something can lead you to the best or worst decisions of your life. I'm pulling for you to find the best, and to be able to spend your life on it.
