Rare books exposed
If the different libraries at UR were teenagers in high school, Rush Rhees Library would be the rich popular kid - people always flock to him and he owns most of the stuff people want and need. Carlson Science and Engineering Library would be the best friend - best with one-on-one contact and can handle […]

Apparently, if one forgets to place both shower curtains inside the shower, the bathroom floor turns into a lake. Subsequently, when one walks through this lake with flip flops, one is almost guaranteed to go waterskiing into the […]

When I wrote this article, President George W. Bush's adventure in Iraq cost this country over $198 billion, 1,935 lives and 14,641 wounded. Nearly 30,000 Iraqi civilians have also lost their lives.
