One Lump or Two? More AL Traffic Signs and Rain in LA
Speed Lumps Sign on University of South Alabama Campus
Speed Lumps Sign on University of South Alabama Campus
Yes at first, being a snobby New Yorker, I thought “how unfortunate” it would be for a typo to appear on a University traffic sign. But I was mistaken, as I often I am here in our South :-).
There is such a thing as a speed lump. The speed lumps are supposed to be less severe than a NY speed bump- which can rip a Volvo muffler off on a good day! So I like speed lumps, because our Volvo wagon is still in one piece.
The USA campus ( University of South Alabama) is quite lovely — the library circulation is open to the public and along with the usual academic offerings they have a medical school, school of archaeology and a very active arts department. While I don’t follow collegiate sports- the Jaguars are Division I.
I knew I’d like the university since they have art everywhere. The sports area has two grand bronze sculptures, and the Moulton bell tower has an amazing realistic montage/mural of students and careers on its ceiling. The work is by the university’s art chair Jason Guynes.
Oh and Al is La, at least parts of it- I recently learned that we live in LA- or Lower Alabama. Of course folks in New Orleans probably say the same thing ;-).
And yes there is promise of a week with no rain. I can’t really complain- it’s so much better than snow…
