In the Glomerata section of the site we are now squarely in the middle of the 1970s, where there seems to be a bit of a sorting out going on when it came to Auburn’s yearbook art. It would seem even the college kids had figured out this decade. Go here for the next three installments. Visit here for the entire section. For some more in-depth looks at various years try here.
Beautiful day:
Beautiful autumn, even:
That’s from my phone, as I cruise down the interstate. With a real camera, and a sincere processor, the entire back of Oak Mountain there would just explode. You can never capture the fall in a photograph, but this year is trying to help us out.
Class this afternoon was on public relations. I joked with the students they had the wrong professor, that the esteemed Dr. Smith was the one they really needed. After class there was the paper.
The student-journalists put together a pretty good paper, but they have a good time, too. They showed me this video tonight, demonstrating their grasp of one of the seven news values. Can you guess which one?
Bizarre.
Continuing the mini-feature of fun with some of the texts of my maternal grandfather’s education in the rural 1940s.
Here are the two new installments from a book on English literature. Go here for the beginning.
Some days you just have to curl up and cover your nose with your tail.
Or maybe that’s just me.
Wildflowers on weeds on campus.
Pumpkin seeds anyone?
Mums from our stoop.
A rainy view of the break area outside our building, as seen from our classroom.
The turning maple in our yard. I was talking with my grandmother when I took this.
They’re turning up top, but still sprouting down low.
The stages of the maple in early November.
Auburn would win the swim meet against Penn State handily, in part because of the men’s 50 yard freestyle where and Karl Krug and TJ Leon, finishing first and second, led the way. Andrew Sideras finished third for PSU. Krug swam the race in 20.15.
The Auburn and NCAA record in this event is held by Caesar Cielo of Brazil. He swam it in 18.69 in 2007. The Auburn men improved to 2-0 on the young season with their 152-86 win. The women are now with their 138.5-99.5 victory.
Finally, a video in which not much happens. This is from the Caf, looking into the Samford quad on a rainy day. But the tree is nice.
