Quotes of the Day

Alongside one of the new light rail stations, near Rural and University, is a giant multi-layered sphere etched with great quotations. I really like the ones shown here, "Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life" (Kant) and "Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever" (Gandhi)

I'm heading to northern California tomorrow and don't know what the internet situation will be; my posts will be automated through next Wednesday. If I have internet I may post updates to my bat blog, as I'll be out batting, thanks for stopping by!

P.O. Box

Today was hot. The high was about 112 F. What does 112 F feel like? Imagine standing in front of a camp fire on a hot summer day. Kind of like that. But I'll take 112 over a day with humidity any day. Call me crazy, it's just my personal discomfort preference. We all have to put up with a bit of discomfort at some point during the year, this is ours. Though after sitting in my icy cold office all day 112 actually feels pretty nice. For about a minute. Then it's hot again. What does this have to do with P.O. Boxes? Nothing. I just went to the post office at Southern and College today. Nothing too exciting, just outgoing mail.
