Hurry back kids, lest we die of boredom! A cool thing to do in the UMass Library is explore the stairwells, which also serve as a gallery for student art, most of it dating back to the late 1980's. Here are a few samples:

Traversing the woodland way into downtown Northampton yesterday I came upon some city workers still hard at work clearing branches that fell during the Halloween snowstorm.
That storm was a real holocaust for our friends the trees. Not only were many tree branches knocked down, but a lot of branches that didn't fall were none the less weakened to the point that the snowstorms over the rest of this winter will bring them crashing down. Thus there were really two storms, the original one that brought a whole lot of branches down in one day, and another, slow motion aftermath as the branches weakened in the storm continue to fall for months to come.
When I got downtown I took a short cut by the old courthouse onto Main Street.
There I was surprised to see in this shop window dinnerware for Republicans!
