0:00 Welcome to ANI in the air under the tent around Baltimore, your daily podcast briefing on all the goings ons, ins and rounds, or tinnitus at Berry School.
0:07 So today was a beautiful day. Lots of stuff happening. Lots of activity on the field. The snowball stand going to is exploding.
0:20 I had to do some quick fixes to my sign out system for campus because it was capturing too many names and didn't really have a problem earlier in the year
0:29 because people weren't going off campus. It was new this year. But, you know, use will show the problems.
0:36 In particular, some people's names are embedded in other names and there was a thing. But anyway, it's all sorted now.
0:43 We had our big yearbook cover photo shoot. So people were out on the walls and sticking their heads out of some windows and that was all cool.
0:54 It was a little scary drone thing flying around and taking pictures of it. So hopefully that all comes out well. It was fun.
1:04 So we had a nice little article club discussion and we did two practice thesis defenses. So that was exciting. It was all quite long.
1:17 You know, it's it's it's cool. Talk with graduates and so forth. And. Yeah, there is. Yeah.
1:31 To the ball string broke, I guess yesterday and got reattached to the to the ball today.
1:38 So that was cool. It's more to the balling and I don't know, lots of activity every day. The green bike is out being going up and down the parking lot.
1:52 We had some more. We have a lot of construction stuff going on around here or something.
1:59 The city crews out and they took down a tree in the middle of the of the divide. I don't know why. Made us all sad.
2:09 There's also a house across the way that got bought recently and they clear cut a bunch of trees.
2:16 I mean, the trees were, I don't know, kind of probably in bad shape, a lot of vines or whatever.
2:22 But man, it's a totally different view of that that house now. So, yeah, things changing in the treescape around here.
2:31 And I guess that is it.
2:39 We have. Yeah, I guess it's Tip of the Week Thursday. Cicadas. So the tip is you can eat them.
2:59 Some people like to, I think, grill them up and they taste like shrimp.
3:04 You've got to get them just at the right stage. So if you're interested in some good old cooked up cicadas, then you should.
3:13 You know, look up that there's a proper time in their development when you when they're like juicy, they kind of come out of the shell.
3:22 I guess they haven't gotten their other thing yet. And so that's a good time for it.
3:27 So that's your tip of the week for having some grilled cicadas or something like that.
3:36 It's a once a 17 year experience. So there you go. All right.
3:43 You all have a good one and I will see you when I see you.
