No Title

One more final, and then this year is finally over. Tonight I shoved my historiography final under Dr. Green's door. At last, historiography is in the past.

I don't feel like it is summer break though. Uganda and the Georgia Fire Academy still loom ahead of me, and each require much time and effort. I guess summer won't really be here for me until July. Hopefully I can start window washing then. Perhaps another glorious summer at the University of Arkansas awaits me. Washing windows all day under the hot sun. But I actually do enjoy the job, somewhat.

Today is my dad's 53rd birthday. I wonder what it's like to be 53. Hard to imagine having a conscious memory of the 60's, 70's, and 80's. I wonder what my conscious memory of the 00's, 10's, 20's and 30's will be.

My eyes feel like they are about to bleed.

Funny Stuff from US Environmental History

Dr. Morton is funny. There was a lot of funny stuff this semester. Here are a few things I remember. Listed is both class content and funny Morton stuff.

The Cuyahoga River catching fire. Several times.

"Spontaneous combustion isn't something that is suppose to happen to a river." Morton

"I have long had an interest in both salmon and dams." Author Richard White

"Acts of God!" Paul Morton in a booming voice. Multiple times this semester.

Large Pig Feces Ponds.

There is a farming town with 0% unemployment, but everyone is 30% below the poverty line. What the?? But have no fear, for a big CEO said, "I know these people. They are happy people. They are happy driving their tractors." This CEO ranted on why this situation was justified. It was ridicoulous.


Well, there was probably more. Perhaps you should just take the class.
