Random wanderings around SVU and Buena Vista

Yeah... I'm not good at remembering to update this regularly, am I? Oh well... haven't had so much to say lately anyway, it'd be kind of silly to post "Hey, I ate food today" or "I talked to a girl today" or whatever when that was all that really happened, nothing really big. XD

But yeah... this weekend's turned out to be mostly okay, despite there being absolutely nothing go on around SVU lately.  Ended up randomly ending up in one of the girls' mods the other night and got to watch a movie and a half; saw pretty much all of Hairspray and then about half of The Princess and the Frog (...which I now need to figure out how to watch the other half of, since it feels really weird to just have to leave in the middle of a movie and be unable to finish it... even if it is because it was 1 AM and I had to leave or the SVU Honor Code Cops would come after me. XD)  Got some homework done and did laundry yesterday, since it was Saturday and there really wasn't much else to do... and then today, I ended up finally trying something aside from the Italian BMT at Subway--I used one of my coupons and got a 6-inch BMT along with a 6-inch of the Tuscan Chicken Melt, which is apparently only going to be around for October.  It was pretty good, especially the sauce (which was balsamic vinegar based.)  I think the Italian BMT is still my favorite out of the subs I've tried, though.

I also ended up going for a walk around Buena Vista, managing to find that random trail alongside the Maury River again... along with a road sign graveyard! Here's a couple pictures of it:

 This is what I first saw, after walking past a bunch of old school supplies and stuff (those dark blue chairs, some of which were broken... also desks, including some of the big teachers' desks that go at the front of the classrooms.  And cars.)


But yeah... it's a big pile of old stop signs.  And a few other signs, but mostly stop signs.  Some of them don't even look like they've been damaged or anything, so I'm not sure why they were throwing them out...


Another view of the stop sign graveyard. They still have the clumps of dirt on the bottom of the signposts and everything... weird.

And here's a SECOND stop sign graveyard a little further past the first one.  This one has a huge sign of some sort, along with a speed limit sign and some street signs too...


Also a little pile of decapitated stop signs on the left there. XD





Yep... stop-sign graveyard.  After that, I grabbed the only sign I could find that would fit in my backpack (a street sign for "Factory Street") and then continued the walk along the side of the river, and eventually turned around and headed back into town... walking back along the railroad tracks this time instead of on the regular streets.  So much old stuff hidden back in the far edges of Buena Vista.  It was a pretty good walk, ended up taking from around 1:45 or 2:00 until around 2:45 to get back to my house here on campus.  I really need to walk more.
