12 of 30 - IV - Looking for Tunnels
Last night an EMOSNAIL Commando Team made up of Tarisha, her friend Sherri, Brent Laabs (orwell_troll), Witless_Nerd, my roommate Jason and I, and another guy, went exploring for steam tunnels on campus.
Turns out campus doesn't have human-navigable steam tunnels )= Just a lot of human-accessible steam pits. They are steamy and sauna-like inside, we decided it would be very funny to emerge from one while wearing a towel in the middle of winter.
We found some neat places. I'll post pictures as soon as I get the pictures off Sherri's camera.
We also found the armoury in the basement of Hoagland Hall. It consisted of a very heavy doorway in the basement that was not only locked, but the doorknob was chained and another huge lock attached to that. A sign on the door warned that trespassers would be prosecuted to the full extent of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The entire basement of Hoagland kind of looks like a bunker, actually, and according to Jason, who is full of arcane knowledge (citing a Professor Verosuv in Geology as his source), the basement of Hoagland actually WAS a bunker in WWII. Someone update Daviswiki. (=
After our explorations, Jason & I stopped in at G Street Pub, where we met up with Miss Olivia Pisano.
Today I went into Woodland anyway to put in for reimbursement for travelling up here. They'll mail me a check for $102, which is a lot more than I expected, and will cover most of my travel expenses. I also ate at the excellent Fat Cat Cafe in Woodland.
My friend Deputy DA Tim Wallace told me I should put him as a reference for job applications. Now I have an Ambassador (Amb. Holmes, former Ambassador to Australia & Director-General of the State Dept), a City Councilman (Heystek) and a Deputy DA as references. (=
Tomorrow morning I'm planning on starting the drive back to So Cal. I'm kind of thinking of taking a circuitous route of some kind so as to change it up.
