I love the house across the street. Not only is it a beautifully-maintained Victorian with a cupola (I've always loved cupolas!), but the second-floor cupola room has a starry ceiling! It's beautiful! If I ever have a cupola, it'll have a starry ceiling like this, and then an attic with a roof of all glass where I can actually look at the stars.



There were also some lovely clouds today. I didn't get a picture of them, but I did find a picture on my camera of some striking cirrocumulus with the Campanile in the foreground, from sometime earlier this month.



I had a great discussion about intelligence measures and affirmative action over dinner, but I should probably study instead of writing it up right now. :~( I'll have lots of time during winter break ....
