Uranus

Hi folks not much going on with me anymore. I have been studying the watersheds a lot lately and reading books like Forests: Shadow of Civilization by Robert Pogue Harrison. Boy my Dad would have liked this one. Maybe he read it. Two weeks left before Thanksgiving, when the semester will pretty much be over. I am taking it all in as fast as I can. The other day I walked into the house and my son was sitting on the couch reading a book called Space and he said "Dad, did you know that your anus rolls around in space like a bowling ball?" "Good one!" I said, "very nice. I like it..." He turns nine in a week. Holy moly.

I leave you now with several images of our latest attempt to blot out the sun. We just might succeed this time. Our new jumbotron, which we have decided to actually build during football season because we really just can't wait any longer, will be the biggest in the Southeastern Conference and one of the biggest in the galaxy. It almost dwarfs the stadium and can be seen from my studio desk. I get a little emotional every time I drive by it. The glory of it.
