the sky has a big personality

There was a lot of weather going on that day: it filled up the whole sky, which is saying a lot.

ira’s

If, after the long drive from Dalhart, Texas, to Nara Visa, New Mexico, you were hoping for a nice spot where you could have a drink and hang out with the locals – and you were even prepared to offer bonus points to a place that had a cool name like “Ira’s” – you are setting yourself up for ongoing thirst.

Ira’s is no more…

she gave me The Look

Here’s the lovely and talented Miss Hannah Harvey, in her first year at the College of William and Mary. Check out that look on her face!! She’s quite sardonic when she wants to be.

tucker hall

This building, which dates from the early 1900s, was William and Mary’s first free-standing library building.

Also, it is reported to be haunted by the ghost of a student who died by suicide on the third floor of the building in the 1980s.

Accocrding to a not-at-all over-the-top article posted by the Williamsburg Ghost Tour folks, the hauntings may not actually be a ghost, but could possibly be demons, which are, like, really scary and bad and stuff. (“Demons, however, are evil and won’t hesitate to bring harm to the living. They’re known to disguise themselves as ghosts or spirits pretending to need help and won’t hesitate to make their presence known. Many people confuse these classifications and if the mistake’s made, it’s potentially harmful to those in the area. It’s advised that if a spirit does try to harm a human, to call an exorcist or seek professional help.“)

All that aside, I liked the pattern of the floor tile.

this guy*

I found this dude hanging out on the William and Mary campus the other day. He seemed to be enjoying the fall weather (as was I), and I assume that he was reflecting upon his own student days there, both as an undergrad and as a law student (whose law professor was Thomas Jefferson).

Or maybe he was thinking about that one time when he was the President of the United States, the way former presidents do.
