Random Sights Around Town

It's been awhile since I've blogged.  Sorry.  Life has been busy as I was out of town last week and then preparing to go out of town the week before that.  It always seems to take such effort and energy to prepare for a trip and then to recover from a trip, so I'll keep this short.

Here's some random pictures I took around town the beginning of the month. This beautiful home is set for demolition.  You can see people have already started pillaging the home by removing the garage doors despite the No Trespassing sign hanging right there.


This nice home is also set for demolition.  You can see the reason why- new power lines going in.  Imagine you wake up one day with this big thing in the middle of your driveway. I'm sure that's not how it happened, but there are several homes (at least 12) along the main road nearest to our home that are set to be torn down because they stand right in the way of the new power line.  They are also widening the road from 2 lanes to 5 lanes, which resulted in the need for new power lines.  The project is supposed to be completed by the end of this year, so we'll see if that's the case or not.  I'm just happy we have an alternate route to our home, so we can bypass the mess of construction.


Some people got creative with this yellow sculpture on campus and turned it into large fries and a hamburger.  I thought it was pretty clever.


I saw this as I was leaving my office building one day. You can see the fog rolling in at the base of the mountain.  Kind of neat.


Here's a cloud burst Scott thought was neat as we were driving through the mountain pass.  You can see it covering the road.  Visibility was clear right up until we drove through it and then we couldn't see anything for a few seconds until we were in the clear again. So weird.


And that's all the random updates from me.  Despite what these pictures show, our snow is gone and even the mountains are beginning to lose the snow we can see on them.  Spring is on its way!  Hooray!
