I also enjoyed how this guy unironically loves las vegas

It's definitely all fake, but still pretty good.

I don't think it's fake. it's too spotty to be fake. beautiful is actually a hard word to spell!

I don't get "gray" unless they are spelling it "grey," and I wouldn't even count that as a misspelling.

I'm guessing 4 year old girls trying to fill out a Christmas list or something

Here's a useful mnemonic: grAy = American, grEy = English.

Yeah, but it's sort of a gray area.

very cool

I did not know that the murals in Hale Library at KSU were connected to the WPA.

Quote
From the Kansas State University website: “David Hicks Overmyer painted the four Historic Farrell Library [now Hale Library] murals in 1934 as part of the federal government’s Public works of Art Project. Each of these murals is 11’ x 14’ and their subjects symbolize the four major academic pursuits of the institution at the time: science and industry, agriculture and animal husbandry, the arts, and home economics.

Overmyer, an illustrator, artist, and muralist, was born in Topeka, Kansas in 1889 and died there in 1973. He has murals in several other Kansas sites including courthouses in Ft. Scott and Norton, Topeka High School, and the State Capital Building.”   (http://www.lib.k-state.edu)

The murals hang in what is now called the Great Room of the Hale Library. They have been recently restored and are now in excellent condition.

wanting some old timey Kansas maps to be framed for my office. Anyone have a website they know of to get something like that? I've found an old 1887 map that i about pulled the trigger on. Can't seem to find it now though.
Sometimes I think of the Book of Job and how God likes to really eff with people.
