I like the blurred effect it gives the stars, like motion.

My take on it is that the one girl was pointing out to the other that she still had some broccoli on her teeth. Sometimes there are things that only your bestest girlfriend will tell you.

Sorry - could you give us more details? Are you speaking of this place in particular or of all mental facilities in the US?

silk, if it was like the place I work now, each building was built in a different year, and many in differing decades. Our buildings were built between 1914 and 1985 or so, and many of the buildings have had additions and renovations made to them over the years. As well, every several years the Life Safety Code changes, so that what is acceptable when renovating a building this year may no longer be allowed next year. So we have a lot of buildings cobbled together with different devices, equipment, and codes.

But that's just a guess about how they did it at Pennhurst. :-)

Do all the young people know what the name of that movie means these days? "Punch M for Murder" doesn't have quite the same "ring" to it, does it? ;-)

Richard, just act cool and say, "I meant to do that."

I agree - the more I look at this shot, the more grotesque and yet fascinating it becomes. Is that a large monster with fiery eyes at the end of the hall that has just discovered our presence or is a haunted ghost train rapidly bearing down on us?

Either way, it's great!

Depth of jokes is horribly low, however . . . . .

Ha! Ed wins the prize!

Someone go get Ed his prize!

That one is "merely" high up on the wall. :-) We have one at work in one of the oldest buildings (1914, I think) that is actually on the ceiling, but built into it as part of the original design. It's a rarity on campus, but it is really cool. The first time I saw it I had to haul every one from the exploring party with me into the room to point it out. I am working on the history of the place and I'll see if I can find out why they built it that way. I'll also ask our safety director and the head of building & grounds. However, I am going to bet that you are right on this particular radiator and that safety was the issue. It would be a lot easier to have it up high than to worry about placing a protective screen over it, but it is quite odd.

Hell, ~Me should be scared of ~Me. ;-)

You're not surprised? That's a little depressing, actually.

~Me, child, sometimes you leave me with so much to say that it actually leaves me speechless. 8`-)

And thanks be to God for that, eh?

Well, THERE'S more information about your grandmother than we ever needed to know. >:-(
