Hopefully

Today goes better than the bus ride home yesterday.  To start off with, I think we were stopping without brake pads, the grinding noise was just awful.  Then there was what I suppose was an accident at the roundabout leading out of campus that caused a 10-15 minute backup.  All of that made the 40 minute ride home into an hour and 10 minutes.  I should've run home I think.  I decided my troubles were worth a stop at "The Barn" a Beefeater chain pub for a pint of Hobgoblin.

The lecture was pretty good.  Some basic things that I knew, but it was good to get reminders of a lot of the math and free body diagram analysis stuff.  I did learn some things too about how to interpret some different plots of data.  The rest of the week should be good.  One correction though - Shrivenham is for the 4 post rig and some other assorted testing equipment, the off-road facility is here.  We also have a few very exciting guest lectures tomorrow.

One thing I've been meaning to mention - a lot of people here who walk in groups like to just stay in the group, as wide as the sidewalk.  I think I will just run into the next one that does it to me, it's gotten a bit ridiculous.  I guess it's mostly on campus though, but it does happen around MK as well.
