I dunno if it was the Mondays or the good weather or just some confluence of forces, but campus was full of unusual sights today:
- a kid riding one of those crazy home-made "tall bikes"
- grim-faced professors migrating in pairs and trios from their daytime nesting spots to the location of the evening's faculty meeting
- a barefoot undergrad using the rather dingy men's room in my building (shudder)
- roughly half the student population crashing on the Bald Spot (the campus quad) to soak up the sun
- at least three couples holding hands - almost stareworthy on a campus that's usually devoid of PDA
- a biggish group of students trying their skills on a tightrope strung just off the ground between two trees on the Bald Spot
