For those of you who've had too much politics lately, and I can certainly understand, here's a nice photo of the lacrosse stadium at Roanoke College:

Thank you, Austin. The mountain's a lot prettier than any politician I've seen of late.

I love that scene. It takes me back to Salem . . . I miss Roanoke.
