One of the loveliest things about walking up Locust on a late Fall afternoon is that the sunsets are often quite beautiful. Since the western end of the city past campus is devoid of high rise buildings, it’s just an incredibly pleasant moment when you spot a breathtaking glimpse of the red sky, particularly as the leaves have fallen off the trees – and you just have a lot of sky to look at.

Is UTB going all mushy on you? Maybe. It’s that time of year. If you’re as lame as we are, and you stop to snap a photo sometime in the coming weeks, send it on over. If we’re feeling sentimental, or if we have nothing else to post, we’ll put it up.

We caught this tricked out ride cruising around campus yesterday. What were they saying through those megaphones? Was it, as we hope, some type of KaraokeMobile and IF SO, how can we schedule a ride around town/performance of “Don’t Speak”?

We’re curious. Help us out, guys.
