We also have running water and sewer, which also doesn't make sense. Mostly I don't think about it because I enjoy both of those things terribly and am not in the mood to tempt fate.
The trees are a Julia thing this week. I don't know. There have been a lot of new people coming in and it's all a lot to keep track of. Next week it'll probably go back to being a normal, sad little field of grass. The campus more or less came back when it was leveled, sans Carter Hall.
