lulz.

Re: Pit, I don't know who's more to blame. The architects, for failing to plan for the basic life-safety issues that every architect should know, the permitting agency for letting that slip through the cracks, the University for taking forever to address the problem, or for the fire marshals to allow the building to remain operational.

Comment by once banned twice shy on January 5, 2011 at 9:55am: Or the alternative message to parents is to focus on how to train your kiddos to be university vice-presidents or administrators. Apparently that's where UNM wants to spend its money.

Comment by Krista on January 5, 2011 at 10:42pm: Ben took the photo and I'm pretty sure it's another bird of sorts. He has a great photo of mama with a lizard in her mouth. :)

Comment by Benny the Icepick on January 5, 2011 at 11:54pm: I'm pretty sure the banner image is from when the roadies found some crow roadkill down the street.

I've got a couple from when they caught the lizard. This is a little out of focus, but I like the sense of speed.
