This is the main lounge in the business administration building and is kind of my hangout till we get wireless up and running at the complex...

On another note, we have an old grain company with a bunch of silos next door to our complex. This place has been turned into a rock climbing gym, I will be paying that a visit on Monday... I have always wanted to take up rock climbing or bouldering since visiting Colorado. Now I can walk out my front door and do as much of it as I want... I am really stoked with this move, the accommodations are simple but I have a huge room and some cool stuff in the surrounding area to do. The town itself is a little sad from what I have seen so far, it looks like it once supported many business's that now sit empty. If you drive through downtown where the larger buildings are, it seems more like a ghost town as many of those buildings are empty... Not to mention the streets are cracking, revealing the old brick roads that lie beneath the resurfaced streets. It looks like the town went through some hard times, but seems to be on the rebound. The college receives more funding every year and the new business building is amazing. The campus as a whole is very nice and I look forward to spending some time in the sports lab after scoping that out. That's about all for now...

Yea, I will get some pics up from the area soon. It is pretty green and rolling terrain... Lots of road kill, I mean lots... armadillos seem to be the most common... Bugs, well they are massive and hurt like hell when they hit you... I caught one on the upper lip today and I thought it was a bird at first, based on the splatter across the face it was something big and juicy... speaking of birds, there are vultures out here as large as me... it is kind of unnerving when several of those things start to follow you, it is like they can smell the burning flesh when the legs are on fire...
