Computer science was a whole lot simpler in 1965.

Must have been. She was a cheesehead.

When you feel them in your own muscles this is exactly what you’d expect they look like.

That's pretty much the reverse of all the pictures I see on Facebook for my hometown, which has rather gone downhill of late.

Your moving in and the decline - hope you pointed out that correlation does not equate to causation.

Im just wrapping my head around the idea that parts of broadway were unpaved when my grandfather arrived.

A lifetime ago, I saw some stats for a state university that indicated that the College of education incoming freshmen had the lowest SAT/ACT scores of any of the university's colleges - and yet amazingly, its graduates had the highest GPAs upon graduation. In Finland, getting into an education college is on par with getting into medical school and only their elite schools have a college of education.

Hm. Difficult to imagine that the intellectual elite would invest their abilities into an opportunity to babysit children in a classroom. Maybe the college of education in Finland is geared toward some other profession.
