:: Columbus for a day ::
Monday, August 14, 2006
Friday I awoke at 4:00 AM, flew to Columbus, Ohio for nine hours of exciting GPS research at (the) Ohio State University, and returned that night. I noticed at least two other people from my outbound flight who joined me on my return flight as well, so perhaps this is not an uncommon same-day getaway.
OSU, being an enormous state institution (like Pete Rose), has entire buildings for disciplines normally shoehorned into wings or even single offices. For instance, the geology department resides in a free-standing, 100+ year-old historic building containing a museum complete with prehistoric fossils, in which I took this picture of a distant, much larger, relative of the modern armadillo. Another example is the gleaming new structure (above) for the mechanical engineering department.
Size comes with a price however, and that price is some seriously awful campus-adjacent Mexican food. If I didn't want my chimichanga fried I would have ordered a burrito.
