Blowing & Drifting

While walking from the office to the car this afternoon, I was surprised to cross the path of a Carleton student skiing along through the fresh snow. Except for his boots, he was totally naked. He passed in front of me, skied all the way around the Bald Spot (the open area at the center of campus, not a euphemism for something), casually greeted some other students walking along the sidewalk, and then went past me again as he headed back to his dorm. He had some really good boots and skis (again, not a euphemism).
