The demolition of the library building really started about a week ago. It is providing entertainment to students and staff as they move around that part of the campus. The most amazing machine to me is the power jack-hammer and "jaws" on a giant articulated machine. The jack-hammer punched holes in the sides of the building and the jaws grab on to the edges of the holes and pull the building apart. All the while, there are hoses shooting giant streams of water at the working end of the machine in an attempt to control the dust . Sometimes it looks almost like the dust falling from the Twin Towers. Of course, not even close to the amount. On the classroom front, things are going slower than I would like. It's taking my brain a long time to get accustomed to learning again. Growing older is sooo much fun and such a challenge all the way around. After sitting around for nine months, I can finally climb all the stairs to the classroom with gasping for breath when I get there, although I'm still a little out of breath. Reading and retaining what I've read is taking a little longer to master, but I'm sure it'll come. I just have to remember to read everything twice. That has worked before, so I'm trying it again.
Hope you enjoy the pictures. I'll post more as the demolition continues.
