Sometimes I see things that make me laugh – though more often than not, they make me cry, or feel disgusted.  But this made me laugh…. this morning driving to work at UC College of Medicine I spotted three new benches (in front of what was in ancient times “the college of medicine — aka the “old college of medicine”, then the “dean’s office” and now Kawolesky hall. These are a couple of metal benches. They are brand new and part of the renovation of the whole west part of the medical campus for the new public health building. NO TREES, and thus on a day like today which will be 90 degrees and no shade, I pity anyone going to “sit” on these benches…. one would certainly “braise (and/or braze) their glutei”.
