So the Bard High School Early College people are here on campus for a week.
That's cool. I have no problem with the campus being populated again.
What pisses me off is that one of them stole my bike and left it lying on the ground outside Fisher (the sciences building), with a bungee cord snared in the gears, the front brakes all messed up and the lock missing.

What the hell happened to respect for private property?

I am currently of the opinion that certain people here badly need to relax a great deal.

Still annoyed about the bike thing.

Today, when we had to get into the Mansfield houses for more fibre measuring, we went to Physical Plant to get a master key.
They didn't have one, so they pulled out a blank, stuck it into a key punch, and made one.

What had me wowing for a bit afterwards was how the key punch worked. Each notch on the key corresponded to a number.

That key was a bearer of information.

Yes, it's stunningly obvious, but it was terribly neat at the time, really. :)
