Impressive but the architect should have asked himself if he should not if he could?
Our small university has one white cement building (out of several dozen classical red brick buildings) that was funded by an alumni and designed by a famous architect.

It is an eyesore, and both the President and the Chef Financial Officer told me that they would not willingly accept another architect design (even though fully paid for) b/c it was so difficult to work with him or her.
 
Got a ride in today. It was a bit cold at 6C (I know, I'm a wimp) but the heated gloves were the perfect tonic.
Headed down to River road under the Alex Fraser bridge.





The sign on the tracks says Townsend, which is in Delta, B.C.



You can turn left under the bridge to the entrance of the Delta - Surrey Greenway





Along the way there was a stretch of thick mud where unfortunately I got stuck in the mire and had to dismount. Rats.
Further on there were enough puddles to run through to clean some of the muck off.

 
Things feel like they're changing over the past few years. Drier summers, and more severe storms. Lytton is gone. Flooding in the valley.
Weird stuff is afoot methinks...
True enough. But those blooms posted above will still get frosted, I bet.
We have a Magnolia in back that was mature when I bought my house decades ago (way too cold for it here) and it blooms and gets frosted almost every year.

I hear ya Dave. It’s been a tumultuous year for British Columbians particularly for those affected by the fires and floods. I fear we can only expect more extreme weather events to come down the pipe.
 
Did 43 miles today. It started about 44 degrees got to about 47 but then it rained lightly but ended up dropping to a low of 36. I had tights and my rain coat on but my waterproof lobster claw gloves don't really work that low for me. Plus with the rain after I made a couple of stops my hands were frozen with 12 miles to go. My tights are not waterproof and I didn't think to bring my rain pants. All the rain ran down into my shoes and that would happen with my rain pants too.
Crossed several bridges lots of climbing almost 3000 feet. Lots of steep climbs and descents the countryside seems to be those rollers when I ride out that way. I rode 33 miles to get my wife one of these. They were out of the eclairs but their flowerless chocolate cake is killer. I don't get to eat any my body hates carbs so I had to stop for a protein drink and a energy drink and a couple of hot dogs without buns at 7-11. My wife better appreciate that for a chocolate cake and a fantastic croissant.but did well on a workout burned 1200 calories or more as I was so cold.
Ok on to the pics. Saw these primitive blue tree. Then this field or small hill across from the Oregon national guards. It must be an old place they used to use for playing army I guess as the area is only 3000 feet by 1700 feet with houses on the other side. Got a pic of a duck right after he pooped. It was like what's the white I the water then figured it out. A frozen small waterfall but it was 47 degrees in that area at 2pm. Some sandy river pics.
Got to love the rich chit that has cattail art instead of real plants.
