Worked outside today, putting up siding. Did you know that siding is much easier to put up on a wall than it is to take down? Yes folks, I can confirm it.
In other news, it snowed today. No accumulation, but IT SNOWED IN SEPTEMBER.
It’s just not right. It’s just not natural.

Two fellows from Risk Management down at the College were up at camp the last two days, inspecting things. At the top of the list: lead build-up at the rifle range. Apparently, you can just reach down and scoop up handfuls of lead and lead arsenic anywhere around the target stands. Fun times [...]

This has happened before.
There’s a bite in the air—a nip, even. The mornings are crisp but bright. I have not seen such blue sky in too long.
I worked outside today, in shirtsleeves, putting cedar siding on the new cabins. I used a belt sander and a circular saw. I stained fresh cuts and I [...]
The 2003 Tower is a product of the blood, sweat, and occasional tears of a select band of Wheaton students, each a volunteer in his or her own right. Even if some of them did get paid a bit.
The 2003 Tower was laid out on an Apple Macintosh 733 Mhz PowerPC G4 named [...]
Well, here we are again; ever since that day– you know the one I mean (we have to keep on going back to this, I guess, until it’s all been done and settled; we are suffering a lack

because it touched us all, and
we’ve never really been the same–
None
