Visited the meat lab today. Students process the meat that is farm raised on campus and the savings are passed along to me. The deals are outrageous. We picked up a few steaks for the weekend, but you couldn’t go wrong with any cut of beef, chicken or even eggs. You could buy 30 eggs for less than three bucks.<\/p>\n
Put that with the fresh peaches and okra and tomatoes we picked up at the farmer’s market yesterday and we’ll be eating well. There’s apparently a fish market, too, and if we can figure out when and where that takes place you’ll have to read about the catfish and the shrimp and whatnot.<\/p>\n
To live in a place where the shrimp and catfish come from “down there on the left” is really cool.<\/p>\n
So I promised you scanned things. I finally finished the Glomerata<\/a> project. That only took three-and-a-half years of on again off again scanning, editing and writing. But, I’ve made observations and jokes on four years of the yearbooks. The final 10 entries<\/a>. I really like the way it ended, in a more complete and, I think, better way that I wouldn’t have expected when I started this in February of 2007.<\/p>\n And that just leads me to the next big scanning project. When I picked up those first two books from the early 1950s I started down a path that has turned into a serious collection. I have 76 books from the now 113 volume set. I want to scan all the covers and show them off, because there are some handsome ones worth seeing. If I offer you two of those a week we can stretch that out until February.<\/p>\n The other project is the guide to the 1939 World’s Fair. I’ve started scanning some of the models and pictures and illustrations and we’ll make fun of them together. I’ll start showing those off next week, and it should run until Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n And with that I’m going to head out into the dark and thunder and find some dinner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Visited the meat lab today.
