This is billed as the Barrows Hall Mitigation Success Story. I wonder if it succeeded in stopping any jumpers. I don't see any climbers, in fact I don't see anybody at all except the guy in blue hat lower left. Must be an hourly employes picking up OT.
Second look reveals what may be a climber or jumper upper right. My bad.

How tall is tall cotton?
The cotton plant is a perennial in many parts of the tropics and subtropics where it may reach a height of 15–20 feet. In Florida and across the commercial cotton belt of the U.S., cotton is grown as an annual and attains a plant height of 2–5 feet or more if moisture and plant nutrients (primarily nitrogen) are not limiting. Air temperatures in the 90°–95°F range are considered near optimum for growth. Very little growth takes place below 60°F or above 100°F, especially if soil moisture is low. However, cotton is usually considered drought tolerant because of its extensive root system. An average daily growth rate for the roots of ½ inch may occur until first flower when root growth begins to level off and then declines starting about 90 days after planting.

Today is International Women's Day.
The fact that you've all "earned" or been given
a day of recognition while men have not speaks for itself.
(It really shouts it out, actually.)
I won't bother saying big deal,
Just stop to think on how you feel,
Then go home and cook that meal.
But who inaugurated the day, and why?
The following text is from the International Business Times online.
Though officially in its 40th edition, the origin of International Women's Day can be traced back to the early twentieth century in the form of various labour movements in North America and across Europe.
The chronology of the day's history according to the UN is as below:
1909: The United States observed the first National Women's Day on 28 Februray in honour of the 1908 garment workers' strike in New York, where women protested against working conditions.
1910: A Women's Day of international significance was established by The Socialist International, a global association of political parties seeking to establish democratic socialism, in Copenhagen to honour the movement for women's rights. However, no fixed date was selected for the observance.
1911: March 19 was marked as International Women's Day for the first time in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland, following the Copenhagen initiative.
Over one million women and men attended rallies and demanded women's rights to vote, to hold public office, to work, to vocational training and to an end to discrimination on the job.
1913-1914: During their peace protest against World War I, women in Russia observed their first International Women's Day on the last Sunday in February 1913.
Elsewhere in Europe, women held rallies either to protest the war or to express solidarity with other activists on or around 8 March in 1914.
1917: Once again on the last Sunday in February (which fell on 8 March on the Gregorian calendar), Russian women went on strike for "Bread and Peace". On 12 March, the Czar stepped down and the provisional Government granted women the right to vote.
1945: The Charter of the United Nations, the first international agreement to affirm the principle of equality between women and men, was signed.
1975: The year was declared International Women's Year by the UN which began celebrating International Women's Day on 8 March.

Jay, you think like a genius. Analyze this, bro.
Yeah, it's an electrical cord. Why there & why no window & what's it to do with your mass slide-viewing set-up?
Frames? Flames?
Mickey Mouse was no genius--it was Uncle Walt who knew lightning stikes once in a lifetime, unless you are Edison, who was driven.
Just for the safety aspect, try using a headlamp. Just wear it around your neck for when you can't find matches.
Looking forward to your shots gracing this thread.

This thread is nearing 4000 posts. So when are we gonna find out who sabotaged that airplane? When is the book coming out? I wonder if Paul Ryan "smoked" any of that weed. If he did I bet he didn't inhale. Are mouse of Merced and Licky really one and the same person? I have yet to see both of them in the same room, at the same time.

MUSIC OF THE SPHERE OF ROCKS AND LICHEN
The rocky road of last year,
Riding around from there to here,
What to my wondering eyes should appear,
Lichen and rocks in their own special sphere.
Underfoot and all around,
Sticking up out of the ground,
Having come down from the montains they bound,
And they roll and they rock to some spherical sound.

Knight's Ferry. Never been there, sad to say. Nor on Williams Road south of there.
Small businesses need regular support,
but the thru traffic which finds this place is their gravy.
