Don’t even try...

How much more tempting can a sign get?  I mean, I suppose it could say, "even if you're really cold."  

What's the big deal?  Is it so hard to change the thermostat that it's not worth attempting?

Big player, Big school, Little Moped.

Ok, so this isn't an actual football player, but how could I NOT think of the giant football players on their tiny little mopeds while looking at this guy? If you thought John Clay was huge on the field, just picture him on this tiny little thing trying to get to class and go back to sleep. I live above several football players and I'm quite convinced they don't actually know how to walk. Evidence? Have you ever seen a football player walk? Of course not. Sure you see them run all the time, maybe jog slowly, but if they were ever need to get somewhere, like say across the street, how do you think they would get there? Easy, by riding their moped. I've even seen football players resort to riding their girlfriend's PINK moped (pictures on the way). A further investigation is underway.

Pending investigations: Whether football players can drink water without the help of an assistant coach.

Tell Em Megatron!

Mega water.  It's bad when the sewers start emptying water into the street instead of emptying water out of the street.  Enjoy the view from inside my dry building.

God Bless America, and Lake Mendota

This is more of a 'shout out' to the city than anything else, but come on, where could you find a place like this; a place so beautiful that a picture as colorful as harmonious and resonant as this one could be taken with a cell phone! Thank you Madison, and thank you God for such a beautiful environment to call home.

Excuse Me, Can you help me find something

Oh yeah, my bad, I guess what I needed was actually the Catalogue of Ontario Legislative Library 1912! Right, thanks for pointing that out to me UW-Madison Library system! Oh, wait, this isn't the section on graphic art and logo design? Rats. Thanks for trying Memorial Library computers.

Why do they even have this book? Who would need to know this? Who would ever come here to find this information? You never know, I suppose, there's so much information out there, it might surprise you… maybe… if you weren't ready for it.

A Friendly Reminder

Ever seen on of these guys? It's a lonely tire, a tire without a care in the world… or a purpose, for that matter. To the person who hastily locked their vehicle to only it's front most appendage, I feel your pain. I had my bike stolen recently, and all they left was part of my lock that falls off every now and then. All I have to remember it is a piece of plastic. At least the owner of this unfortunate pedal disaster has the scent of rubber and the gleam of aluminum to harken their memories. Feel lucky, whoever you are, and God bless you in the attempt to recover your bike. I know I'm going to need it in order to get mine back.

Typhoon, Monsoon!!

Run! Duck and cover! More rain than you can shake a stick at!

Technically, I didn't realize until I got home, but there was a Tornado warning going on at the time… remember that… a couple days ago?

I met this angry sewer cover, spitting up a jet of water like some rogue geyser. Yeah, it was raining hard. See the street in the distance? Five minutes before this picture was taken, that wasn't even visible from where I was standing. We're talking blinding rain. So much rain it actually soaked through my umbrella and started dripping down on me. This wasn't any whimsy umbrella either. My beast of an umbrella, with a double layered top to ensure against bowing in the wind, a carbon fiber rod, and spring loaded action met it's match. Oh, and so did the sewers. By the time I got back to my place, this is what our street looked like. And, just in case you were wondering, the brown fluid rushing around the cars did carry the scent of sewage.

All in all, though, the rain was quite warm, quite refreshing, and quite belligerent in it's attempt at blowing in every direction; definitely had fun today.

No Dumping

"I'm thinking this dumpster is under weight, I can fix that!"

I do not know what this is, if there's some protocol I'm not familiar with, or what is going on. This cement man is emptying his cement truck into this hospital dumpster. Haha, it made me laugh, but then it made me wonder. Yep, the mixer was spinning. Yep, the trough was pointing into the dumpster. Puzzle me this one folks, help me understand.

That's the ER behind him on the right… get out of the way dude!
