More Frosh intros from Dartmouth social media:

If you ignore the soundtrack (until the end, when it gets cute) this driving tour of the Dartmouth campus will bring back memories for some and be an eye-opener for others who haven't been to campus in a few years. Among the highlights are a cruise past the wonderfully named Anonymous Hall (not making that up) and a couple of K-turns that surprisingly weren't edited out. Notably missing are Frat Row, Tuck, Thayer School of Engineering and any look at athletic facilities. Still, it's kind of fun to watch.

Noted in this space yesterday was the CAA changing its name from Colonial Athletic Association to Coastal Athletic Association. All credit to the Colonial Coastal for this well-done introductory video that shares a little about the thinking about the change while celebrating the conference:

EXTRA POINT 
We did indeed go to see Back to the Future at the Lowe's theater on campus yesterday and I'm here to tell you that no matter how many times I've seen it I still marvel at how cleverly the story is crafted. It has held up well over the decades. Seeing it on the big screen for the first time in many years was a joy despite getting absolutely soaked by a gully washer between the parking lot and the theater, and then hoping against hope they'd turn off the air conditioning.

The trip was preceded by a short visit by an old friend from Maine who was able to get a charge on his EV while we sat on our front deck and enjoyed the view. Of note, our friend's terrier-type pooch did not take kindly to Griff's sniff-and-meet, baring his teeth and snapping. With that, Griff issued a half-hearted bark and backed off. Barring something unusual, that will be Griff's one bark for the year. To be honest, I was so stunned by the sound that I had to ask Mrs. BGA if that really was Griff. Perhaps some Golden Retrievers like to bark but not this ol' boy.
