It sounds like some super hero strong hold, but it is really OBI. After graduation, the place really feels lonely. It is nice to get loads of work done without interruptions, but I realize just how much I miss our students. They really do beco...

I have uploaded some photographs I have taken at OBI over the past year. I like taking pictures, but the problem is, I am not very good at it. I will add captions over time. It does take me awhile to enter pithy remarks. Most people would say...

A day off that is not a day off

It is Thursday and I am out of the office, but not for fun. My water well is broken and I am waiting for the stores to open so I can buy very expensive parts. The job is not overly hard but can be tedious. Pulling and fixing a 350 feet deep wat...
