Taking A Look At Muncie (Part One)

Rainy, gloomy, cold - November in Indiana.

However, the heat seems to be failing in this building.

I was up early and finished revising “Lessons Learned On A Green Meadow”. The revisions were sent off this morning.

There is this play I wrote in prison with Christopher Marlowe. It has been an irritant to me for maybe a decade. The execution never gets the idea right. I spent some time today listening to podcasts/videos about Marlowe and Shakespeare. They will go into their own post.

Frankly, I cannot remember much of the afternoon. A nap around 2:30 only to have a call from CC about 45 minutes later. Then the apartment building dropped off the portable heaters. 

I decided to go off to Walmart, but with CC calling back, the bus was missed. I caught the 4:30, and then I almost did not get back until around 6. Going to north Walmart is a PITA.

I talked to Paul S while I was out at Walmart. That takes care of all my social life. 

The brain and my eyes want to take a break. Maybe I can finish Edna O'Brien?

Paul S decided to get me a camera instead of just giving me a recommendation. It has taken me over a week to figure out how to get the photos off the camera. Don't ask. I was never as smart as people thought.

This is the first photo I took:

Dawn coming over the convenience store at Reserve and University.

The view from Riverside looking south along Reserve - the neighborhood.

The following are from my trip to Ball State on 11/12/2025 for the print sale at the Journalism Building.

These are the buildings on the north side of campus. The Duck Pond is directly to the north.

Where the Cow Path used to be.

The same up towards where LaFollette Hall used to be; that is the Communication Building in the center.

That is what McKinley looks like north of Bracken Library. The bell tower is obscured.

And that is the bell tower.

This is one of the robots used to get food around campus.

Interior of the new Journalism Building (across from Bracken now). This is a dining area. They've got restaurants in there!

This is looking from the Teachers College to the southeast corner of Riverside. Sursa Performing Hall is at the corner. All from the past 20 years.

I have absolutely no idea what are the foundational sciences, but it is a building along what used to be Martin south of Riverside.

I got a rejection from The Yale Journal for“Agnes””. 

Song for the day:

That will be my day.
