Over the last few weeks I’ve spent quite a bit of time on the Tech Campus and there are a few things that peeve/concern me:
(1) I have seen two apparent students with LSU shirts and two wearing LSU hats walking our campus (does peeved = infuriated?)
(2) I was stopped at a crosswalk and a student, looking at his phone while walking, actually walked into the side of my truck! It woke him up rudely as I also blew my horn at the same instant.
(3) I watched a young lady, looking at her phone while walking, step right in front of a car, nowhere near a crosswalk, and the driver thankfully was alert and was able to stop within inches of her. She didn’t even flinch, but stopped and stood right in front of the car and gave a look of disgust and shrugged her shoulders.
It's according to where you were on campus. When I was there 50 years ago pedestrians had the right of way all over campus except Tech Drive and RR Avenue (there was almost no need cross RR Avenue then). Anywhere else drivers had to look out for students. Maybe it was an unwritten rule, but pretty well followed. I know there are lots of areas now that we didn't use then and there are more cars. But there are more students, too.
I was just addressing the auto/pedestrian issue. If it was the sdudents in LSU gear, go ahead and run over them.
I thought of y’all yesterday when i saw a young guy in WM parking lot in an LSU sweatshirt. Thought at first he was just one of those wannabees who never went to LSU. Then as I got closer, he also had on gray sweatpants with Louisiana Tech Bulldogs in big letters down the side. So he was a wannabee of both schools or an actual Tech student. I think the latter. Ugh......
personal exemptions for federal income taxes went away in 2018. how did i miss this?
When I was a student, I found an lsu ABCs in the children's books (it was a small section anyway, of course). I immediately complained to the manager and even helpfully brought all extant copies (a good handful, it was no accident) to the back desk. They made some excuse (I think the author was a Tech grad, "they were just trying to support her"), but I reminded them that this was the Tech bookstore and that I didn't pay tuition to lsu.
6 years later, FanBase is finally selling a Tech ABCs. I don't know if the on-campus bookstore carries it.
