A Spectacular Fall

Thursday, Nov. 10, was a cold day, and the night was even colder. UPB dwellers who arrived at work Friday morning were witness to a spectacle of leaves unlike any we have seen for many years. The fall was rapid, and the sound of leaves hitting the ground was a pleasant, soft pitter patter that continued for more than a half an hour as the branches emptied. Many people stopped and watched in wonder, some tried to catch leaves as they fell, and others mentioned that though they have worked here for years they have never witnessed the fall. It was a glorious morning as we celebrated Shane Westwood's newly bestowed oracleship.
