Moving sale
Over on the campus of San Diego State University, there is a huge new student center being built. The students voted in Spring 2011 on whether or not to increase student fees to destroy the old Aztec Center and build a new one. Amazingly, they voted yes! Imagine people voting for an increase in their own taxes……….lol
Following are some pictures of the old morphing into the new. It should be ready for the Fall 2013 semester.

For an effin good time….
Barely a hop, skip, and a jump down the road from me is Effin’s Pub & Grill, a sports bar catering to the 31,000+ students at San Diego State University.
They have an effin great atmosphere — effin fine food, beer, pool, and all the trappings of an effin great sports bar.
Located at 6164 El Cajon Boulevard, it’s just an effin mile south of the effin SDSU campus:

Is there a message here?
PICTURE OF THE MOMENT
My other half is a staff piano accompanist in the Department of Music at San Diego State University (he also works as a Realtor and at Barnes & Noble Booksellers). Parking on the SDSU campus is at a premium — meaning if you want to park on campus, you pay big bucks — and parking around campus is non-existent.
Whenever Jim has to go to campus, I usually drop him off since the campus is just a mile from where we live. I pick him up by waiting in the loading zone across from the Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences building. I’m pretty sure that’s the name of the building even though the sign out front says differently:
I’m wondering if there is a message there. Any Twits want to translate that into Tweetereese?

Sunflower for a cloudy day
PICTURE OF THE MOMENT
Sometimes when I’m camping out in blogs, I learn lots of interesting stuff about the people who own the camp sites. Yesterday I left 315 LIKEs and 89 comments. That’s my record on comments but 316 is my record on LIKEs. I’m on a quest today to go 400/100.
However, if I find too much really good reading, things slow down, and that’s what has happened this morning already.
In fact, while I was camping out in jazfagan’s hippy Bohemian Buddha blog, I mentioned in a comment about sunflowers that they make a great plant to do time lapse photography with. Find a location where you can take pictures from each week and document the weekly progress of the sunflower plant. Once you have all your pictures, create a slide show. The effect is awesome!
Many decades ago I did a time lapse on sunflowers in my own garden, from bare seeds, to planting, to poking their first little leaves out of the soil, to growing up, to blooming, seeding, and dying. It was quite interesting. Unfortunately, I scanned those pictures in the late 1990s, through the printed copies away, and then lost the digital files in the Great Hard Drive Crash of August 2005.
Maybe it’s time to do another…. San Diego State University, just a mile from my home, has been transforming the campus into a beautiful botanical garden, and each summer they have a lot of sunflowers, including red sunflowers — didn’t know they came in any color other than sun yellow. lol. It’s too late this year, but next year, time lapsed sunflowers is on my schedule.
Meanwhile, here’s one of my favorite sunflower pictures from San Diego State University.

Why is everyone honking?
PICTURE OF THE MOMENT
I had to go over to the Music Department at San Diego State University an hour ago. I could tell that I was going to get to see a good sunset. I was stopped at a traffic signal, thinking it would be logical and safe to stop at a red light. While sitting there looking at the sunset, I thought I’d take a silhouette picture of the traffic signal.
All of a sudden people were honking. Wonder why……………….
