Heh, I was only there for a year - sorry, no way in hell I could do it.  As a native
Californian, I couldn't stand the heat.  What even made it worse was that my dorm had
NO AIR CONDITIONING!  I even bought one of these portable units and stuck it on my
window (using makeshift pipes for ventilation, etc, since it had one of these
swinging ones that don't open much) and Campus Safety told me to take it down.
Geez.  I envied the ones in L.B.J!

Well, you know what.  I'm flying to Toronto on a business trip and the last time I've
been to Rochester was way back in 1989 as a freshman.  I wonder how things have
changed.  I think I'll pay RIT a visit in July.  By the way, I miss the greasy
6-hour-old pizzas at Nathaniel's.  Is it still there?
