I went out for a very late stroll last night (this morning, actually)... My son works the midnight to 6am shift at Beaner's, so I walked over to see him and hang out there for a little bit. I had a latte and a blueberry muffin and watched the scene there... probably twenty people or so were studying or making use of the wireless internet.

This was taken closer to where I live, on my way home... It's amazing how still and quiet East Lansing can be at that hour. Of course, there are considerably fewer students around during the summer and — I think — not as many of them live on the southwest side of campus.

This construction is at the intersection of Harrison Road and Shaw Lane and as I was taking the five to ten shots of this (all eight second or so exposures), not one car passed, and Harrison is a pretty busy street most hours of the day. I half-expected a police car to pull up and ask me what I was doing, but I didn't even see one of those!

At some point during the walk, I was thinking about my mortality (as one might) and as I am not a religious person, I thought, "If there is an afterlife, and I end up in hell with George W. Bush, I'm going to be really pissed off!"
