I was walking down a path on the Carleton campus today when suddenly I got a glimpse of one of the new dorms they've been working on these past couple of months. I must say, they've really made a lot of progress. I could've sworn that they were setting the foundations just yesterday. That's modern technology for ya.
From what I could see, it didn't very much resemble the artist's rendition that they've got pinned up at the street-side fence of the construction site. Maybe this is just some sort of elaborate scaffolding.
More disturbing was the feeling I got that the building wasn't moving properly with the rest of the world--almost as if it were jiggling. The soldiers on the roof didn't seem to mind. Then again they're probably too busy wondering why they look and walk like crippled football players.
Well, at least Carleton has soldiers now. I was really starting to worry about the saber-rattling and illegitimate succession going down in Faribault.
And I could have sworn... was that a shmee on that flag? No, I must be seeing things. Too many roast beef sandwiches, you know.
Here, I managed to shoot some video of it.
