A Few More Pix

Here are just a few more pictures from around the little town here. This one was taken from a bridge that needs just a little TLC. It's this pedestrian bridge across the Wabash River that connects West Lafayette with Lafayette proper. I went there one nice twilight when I didn't feel like going home. There were people around, but it felt spooky. That's because of all the millions of cobwebs over every inch of the railing and lamp posts, such as in this next photo:

Can't see them very clearly? Let's go in for a closer look.

I had thought about hanging out on the bridge some more because I had really good cell phone reception. I thought it might be the perfect place to place a few phone calls. However, I kept feeling all creepy crawly and there were parts where I didn't even want to open my mouth because the gnats were so thick. Yeah, I wasn't fond. Here's one last picture, though, because I like the orbs of light receding into the distance.

And then this is just a random picture that I took on campus the other day and I had to post it.

This is one of the fifty odd frat houses that neighbor the campus. They all tend to have pillars and brick (except for one that looks very much like a castle with machicolated towers), but this one! This one is right across from the Union Building and the Under(ground)graduate Library. There's always a posse of boys with no shirts who are generally swimming, tossing some bean bags, tossing back a few, playing some frisbee -- all to some pumped up 80s music. At the time this picture was taken, we were all rocking out to A-ha's "Take On Me," but we've also heard the likes of Journey. Who wouldn't want to join a fraternity?
