It’s been the better part of a month since I last posted. I have to admit it was not because I was too busy. I have been working on my thesis but I have not been as busy as I have been in the past. No. I have not been posting because I am in a state of political shock. I cannot believe the things that are happening to our country. I feel as if it’s already been four years of this communist jargon and destruction, but alas it has only been four weeks! Will we still be the home of the free four years from now? We barely made it through the past eight years of socialism… how can liberty survive four years of communism on top of that?

On a more upbeat note, my thesis is coming along nicely. We created a website for our thesis and I am pleased with the graphic quality of it. You can check it out at www.ReedStreetYards.com. The progress page will be updated throughout the semester. We are currently in the initial master planning phase and are completing our 40″x60″ site and context model. Yeah, it’s huge…. it’s 1:50 scale meaning every inch is equal to fifty feet. Put another way the model represents a 2000 foot by 3000 foot area in the real world. We will be throwing an animation of us building it on our thesis site’s progress page soon.

Hmm… The only other item that’s really changed the last month is Chelsea’s continuing fall in the EPL rankings. We have had an unfortuante number of ties and loses which have translated to fourth place overall. Man U is currently in first with Liverpool and Aston Villa close behind. Now I don’t want to curse us, but at this point in the season we really have no chance at moving back into first. We need to pray that over the final 3 months we can manage to hold onto fourth so we still have a chance at qualifying for Champions League play.
