School Closed ... Again
So, for the second Monday in a row, the University of Dayton has canceled classes. This Monday it is just until noon.

Why don't the students get an e-mail about this sort of stuff? We have this really nice announcement list called stu-announce@udayton.edu that sends an e-mail out to everyone at the university. It would be so much nicer next week when we get another inch of snow to be able to check my e-mail before I get dressed and walk all the way to KL just to find out that I could still be laying in my nice warm bed. The university did post a little scrolling thing at the bottom of their homepage, but I check my e-mail, not the university homepage. It's quite a bit easier to send out an e-mail than to just plop some ugly yellow bar with black letters scrolling across that reads like this:

The University of Dayton is closed until noon (Monday Feb. 24) including the Children's Center

Just send out an e-mail next week UD.

Just a note from an alum who drove to work this morning at 630am. The roads were the worst today. It took me half hour to get from my apt. to where I work, which is near fifth third field (approx. 3.5 miles). UD was actually smart enough to postpone classes today, even though it doesnt seem it was conveyed in the best fashion; however it was on WHIO 6am news this morning, scrolling with the other closings on the bottom of the screen.

From another alum who lives and works near downtown Cincinnati... It wasn't too bad getting into work. (Back during the snowstorm of '78, every business in downtown Cincy was closed except good ol' 5/3.) I'm getting used to removing snow and ice from my car and driving in lower gears. Even though the multiplying potholes are stating to drive me bananas. You guys better enjoy your snow days... I only got one in five years!

P.S. Did I mention that the city of Cincinnati and some of its suburbs are running out of salt? My few thousand dollars of city taxes at work! :-)
