Jeff King came to visit me, but I was gone. It was nice of him to show up at my lab complex, and I’m sorry I missed him. But that at least provided a reader photo; Jeff’s notes are below, with a kind encomium:
As you know, I’ve been a loyal follower for years. On this momentous day several months ago while traveling from Shipshewana to Tucson, I surreptitiously found my way to the door of your inner sanctum. Thank you for persistently using rational thought to explore issues of the day.
That carpet thing on the floor sure looks strange!
Bear?
Fozzie bear I think…or maybe Rowlf the dog.
Whatever it is, it’s pretty 2-D.
It’s got me scratching my head too! Nice pic of you though Jeff. 🙂
Is it dead?
That rug really ties the whole room together.
The carpet is an escaping flat bear slithering out (with rear legs dragging) from under Prof JAC’s secret installation.
Aaaaw, Mr King ! .That ‘ne. IS a lovely panegyric !
Where the heck is Shipshewana ? ! and how is
it properly stated out loud ? ! I know that
I could look it up; I just like learning new
– to – me pronunciations from out of the
mouths or pens or keyboards of their users !
Permanently you in Tucson now ? or was that
trek a visit there ?

Shipshewana is in northern Indiana. Being from northern Indiana myself, I pronounce it ship-sheh-wana. (with “wana” pronounced like the name “Lana”)
Emphasis on WA 🙂
This seems to be a deja vu here. I remember seeing this photo some time ago. Anyway, nice to see you again I think.
Shipshe? Really!! You likely know EDDS Supplies, my father Ed, Ellsworth and Steve Fanning, and all the crew at EDDS!
Yep, that looks like the door to any university office I’ve seen. I probably know what it smells like in that hallway too; the pleasant smell of books and a slight mustiness.
Cool photo.
Gee, I’ve been in universities most of my life, and never rated an office door with a notice “Door alarmed! Police will be called! Do not enter if red light is on!”
Well…you got me there. I was more noticing the blond wood color, the little window, and the steel plate at the base to protect the door (I know there’s a name for that…kick plate?).
Ha ha. You’re right. I figure it is PCC’s lab. He needs to protect those flies. 😂
Aparently the doors in that place have emotions, since that one is alarmed. Hopefully it’s happier now.
I am surprised they allow paper notices on fire doors – we are technically not supposed to have paper notices on corridor walls unless behind glass!
Anyway, at least we know now that the Coyne Lab is not just a figment of our collective imagination! 🙂
Thank God it’s Friday!
