Cancer Posted September 8 Report Share Posted September 8 5 hours ago, Pariah said: Final tally for my Concurrent Enrollment Astronomy class: 36 students. That was about the number I was used to having in my Solar System core course (i.e., for nonscience students). The class was required to have a lab component, but everyone considered me insane for giving essay exams and having a significant writing assignment. Now, if you're trying to do both Solar System stuff and stars, interstellar matter, and galaxies in one course ... even over the run of a full year ... brrr.

Cancer Posted September 9 Report Share Posted September 9 With the resumption of school here last week, the streets around the nearby high school return to being impassible between 8:30 and 9:30 and 3:15 to 4:30. Annoyingly, this effectively no-drive zone includes two of the nearest through streets going south from my house (and I live more or less at the north city limit), and it is directly on the line between my house and the nearest hospital and clinic. That is less of a concern than it was a year ago, but it's still irritating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted September 10 Report Share Posted September 10 Under study, sort of; the idea has been examined before and seems unpromising. Much of the ground this town is built on is not very stable, so tunneling is a pretty risky prospect; you kind of have to construct a concrete liner as you go. All this makes tunnel construction slow and obvious, a combination that ... is not desired. L. Marcus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
