Including this one of the observatory:
It was still rather sunny on Bascom Mall when I arrived at my destination:
There is the Beloved Donor Law School Building in the lower right quadrant of that last picture, and I was ensconced in the faculty library there, looking out on the mall when the storm hit. There were even doughnuts left over from this morning's Coffee and Doughnuts presentation. I'll have the glazed. And this coffee. And hours to go before I have to talk about Burnham v. Superior Court. Bliss!

There's this green color on that rolling lawn. John Singer Sargent used to paint in his landscapes, and I swear he took it right out of the tube and mashed it right on the canvas. No one else has the nerve to do it that way. That's it there. Fall grass. Cobalt titanate, I think, or something.
It comes right out of that photo, like the paintings, and tells me things.

Uh-oh.
Can't you write about how you are living in abject misery?, so as to make your readers feel better about their own lives...
Peace, Maxine
meanwhile...I've been stressed out today. I'm the subject of a moral debate. I feel like I'm losing, although the numbers are still in my favor.
Oh no!
Doughnuts, and the dreaded, soon to be illegal trans-fat?
Maxine: All I'm doing is appreciating a cloudy day. Surely, you've got that.
Fun clouds. Cumulus I think?
Is Bascom "Mall" the common terminology? I only recall hearing it called Bascom "Hill" during my residency. This may reflect my perspective - a peon looking up from Park Street rather than a Professor looking down on the chain-protected grass from an office on the perimeter - but this is the second time I wondered at the appellation.
Yes, Madison's pretty cool. And getting cooler, of course, this time of year...
Hazy Dave: The grassy expanse is the mall, and the Law School's address is 975 Bascom Mall. "Bascom Hill" generally refers to the top of the hill and -- by metonymy -- for the administration of the University.
