I was usually early, so I would sit outside and just observe. I know that some bricks are differently colored, I know that the drain pipe next to a cone looks like a cartoon elephant. The trash can was missing for a week and it threw me off for a while. The chair on the left in the lobby has a tear in it. The magazines on the table are all old issues of the New Yorker and a couple Tribal College Journals. I noticed when we finally got new stop signs, and I noticed when they were missing three days later. <br/><BR>I haven't been there in two months . . .]]></content></entry><entry><title><![CDATA[DrNothing @ 3/19/2007 4:38:50 PM]]></title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.plime.com/l/13569/1/atom0_3.rss#q14" /><id>34233</id><summary><![CDATA[In another study I've read, at the end of each college term, a proffessor would have all of the students in the class write a brief description of the hallway they had all used the entire term to reach that lecture hall.
