Back in the day, MSU was MSC. I was leaving our new office in the Natural Science building today when I noticed this on the second floor. I didn’t want to just take a pic, so I asked a professor across the hall if he thought anyone would care. “No,” he said, “but I have much prettier rocks than that.” I laughed – he’s a geologist; nah, it’s the cans I’m after. They’re marked MSC Creamery. That’s a long time ago. “Yup,” he said, “about 45 years since that place closed down. We just use them for rock sample storage.”

Everything’s flooded here – record breaking rainfall over the weekend, and we’re still drying out. This drainage from a field is usually barely wet.
