Riding down the hill from the Arb toward my office this morning, I saw a mess of shining somethings on one of the lakes at the edge of campus: metallic litter? armored geese? those new aluminum fish I’ve been hearing so much about?
Better: pots, pans, and other kitchen utensils dangling from a rope tied between Mai Fête Island and the south shore of the Lower Lyman Lake. Nearby, there’s a banner reading, “Farm 1/Canoe 0” – suggesting a prank war between two of the College’s interest houses, Farm House and Canoe House. Hilarious. I’d love to be there to see the denizens of Canoe House try to get the stuff back.
At first I was looking at the rip-rap on the island edge and thought “My, that’s a very well-engineered prank!”.
