Floren Varsity House last week (click pics to enlarge)

View from Floren now.

Good news for those of you who enjoy watching Dartmouth football from the comfort of Floren Varsity House. Work has been completed to replace the glass in the windows on the top floor facing Memorial Field. While the safety glass previously installed in the building distorted the view depending on how far you were from it, the new glass is picture perfect from anywhere.

Another reason why it's different around here than at most schools . . .

Returning home after interviewing linebacker Bronson Green Friday, I was driving up Wheelock (the road in front of the gym) and in a heavily wooded stretch about 1.5 miles east of the college I spotted a bear cub crossing the road. Pulling over to watch it for a bit, I saw mama bear cross the road behind me and circle through the woods behind the cub. A couple of years ago I got a few pics of a towering moose staring at me about another half mile up the same road. There's a reason why we call this "the animal road" and not just because you better keep an eye out for deer at dusk  ;-)
