Cattle, Sheep and Auctioneers

So... you start to wonder if you're going crazy when you're walking back to the dorm and hear sheep baaing and cattle mooing but there isn't a single animal in sight...  Weeeiiiiirrrrddd...  I looked all over, but couldn't find hide or hair (yes, according to correct grammar, it should be 'or', not 'nor', even though 'nor' sounds so much better.  But if you use 'nor' you're using a double negative, because you already have 'not' in the 'couldn't'.  Just a random side note I thought of after reading that phrase in a book and stopping short in shock at the awkwardness of it) of a single thing that could be making such noises!  Odd, odd, odd. 

I was skimming through my journal again and came across a few interesting tidbits.
Quoting directly from journal, "Oh, something funny I heard on the radio the other day!  They were talking about tombstones, and on an auctioneer's tombstone was written, "Going, going, gone".  I couldn't help laughing.  I know, morbid, but still, you've gotta admit it's funny."

Here's a quote our newspaper editors must have read and taken seriously, "Don't be afraid to make a mistake; your readers might like it." - William Randolph Hearst.  Ha, yeah, "they might laugh at it!" - Pa 
Yep, our newspaper consistently has dozens of errors in it every single week!

Well, I'm trying to decide whether or not I should post my "averted disasters" entry.  Maybe another day sometime soon.  I'm going to do something else sometime, too, that I think will be hilarious.  HAHAHA!  Be warned!

Well, off to supper here soon, as soon as Patty gets back from work!

Ta-ta!

The Month of May!!

Yay, it's finally the month of May!  =D

There's a healthy dose of spring for ya!  =P
And now some interesting "gobbledygook" from my American Government book a year ago...
1. Negative patient-care outcome (death in a hospital)
2. A very large, potentially disruptive re-entry system (Titan missile)
3. Television with non-multicolor capability (black and white television)
4. Uncontrolled flight into terrain (airplane crash)
5. That portion of a means of egress between the termination of an exit and a public way (a door). 
Haha.  Well, there you have it!  Now you can go be a smart aleck and talk like that!  Ha, just kidding! =P
Happy May!  (Try to survive the snow)

Tractors, spring and exploring!

Well, I have a bunch of pictures to post today!  =D
It all started when I was walking to class and saw two lovely BLUE and RED tractors sitting on the lawn on the south side of the building I was going in to!  Hoorah!  Case IH and New Holland; the best kind of tractors! 

 And then I took some random pictures of flowers...

 And then went exploring!  =D  I went in pretty much every building on the south side of campus, and took pictures of cool stuff. First, a stairway.  I just like the wood on this one, but wait until later; there's a really cool one comin'! =D

 Another picture of the tractors.

 A view of a building from the top floor of another across the street.

 Above: Some kind of flowering bush  Below: A cool view from the walkway outside the library

 This is evidently where the professors used to stand and watch when students were taking tests!

 Farther away view.  This is in the Great Room in what is now the library.

 An iris getting ready to bloom.  I'll have to go back and catch 'em when they're actually in bloom!

 I like the sunshine in this picture.

 A neat little circular window.

 The really cool staircase!!!  It was really cool in real life, and it is so old that it squeaks and the boards sink in when you walk on it!  Nifty, eh? =P

 Above: A white flowering tree.   Below: Nichols Hall.  I thought it looked like a castle.  =P

 See, doesn't it look like a castle?

A picture of what looks like Texas bluebonnets...

 Above: A painting of a cellist!  It was amongst a big mural of athletics, art, music, etc.  And the music one was a a cello!  Yay!   Below:  I REALLY wanted to go in here, but the door was locked.  =(

A pinkish/white flowering tree.

And lastly, some videos of going down the creaky old stairs!  I don't know if you can hear the creaks or not, but they were really neat.  =P

And I believe that's all I have for ya for now!  =)
Have a lovely spring!  =D 

Cubbies

A funny quote from a Cubbie last night:
"We just didn't know we're all kites."
Haha, indeed!  =P

And another;
"Lightning is God's fireworks."  =)  
I love thunderstorms!

'Till next time!
