The Construction Zone

If you haven't been on campus this summer, you are missin' a whole bunch o' construction.

"Oh, blimey it's a roundabout." Wood Road is all torn up where it meets what used to be Inner Loop Road but will now be Parkside Boulevard -- I'm confused. Anyway, they're building a bloody roundabout. Wow!
Can't wait to get on that -- oh, wait, I can't drive. Oh, well, maybe our new chancellor, Dr. Deborah Ford, will take me for a ride -- do ya think she drives a Ford?

Blimey!

OK, what else. Oh, this is a hot topic ... they're repairing the steam line between the Communication Arts Building (which will be getting all torn up in the fall) and the Sports & Activity Center. Lots of really big digging machines and dirt piles, temporary fencing. It's a big deal.

Blimey!

And then I stopped by the new Suites at Parkside student residence hall. Target completion date is August 1. And you should see the windows in this place -- they are huge! And how 'bout that name: The Suites at Parkside. Sounds like a place I'd like to live.

And that is your construction report for today!

Who will it be?

I just noticed today that I am nearing the century mark for "friends" on my Facebook page. I wonder who will be my 100th friend. I believe I will send that person a prize. Will it be you?

Easier than ever to find me on Facebook

As I was watching the morning news today, this item apparently not considered newsworthy enough by the producers -- but I think it is pretty darn newsworthy.

Now it is even easier to find me on Facebook with my new username:

http://www.facebook.com/rangerbear

Of course the Facebook profile notice right across from the post is pretty easy, too!

Is anybody competing in this year's Lighthouse Run in Racine, Saturday, June 20?

Awesome photos!

Dear Readers:

For the past few weeks, I have been somewhat challenged in my ability to communicate with our esteemed alumni director, Amber Engel. Amber, as most of you know, is a really great person. She was trying to show Ranger Bear how to access some really cool photos taken at the Bear Paws for a Cause run/walk back on May 9.

In reality, the process was pretty simple ... and for some reason I just couldn't get my head around (but remember I have a very large head) this "click on the link" concept.

The link to these amazing photos can be found on the alumni portion of the UW-Parkside website. Go to the home page, click on Alumni & Friends along the left side of the page, and then select M. Lane Images Race Day Photo Gallery.

That's all there is to it. Sorry it has taken RDB so long to grasp this concept.

Weather in Wisconsin

One of my favorite movies is Groundhog Day with Bill Murray. Based on the weather in Wisconsin, I think I am now in the movie.
