what?

There is a place on campus called "The Horseshoe," it's a well manicured part of campus with a u-shaped sidewalk where various college admin buildings are located. There are tons of old oak trees, newly planted maples and some fairly well aged maples too-- one in particular was a brilliant orange for most of November.

But the oak trees. Anyone from the south or who has visited it will remember the oak trees- they are huge sprawling things that are great to sit under on sunny days and apparently good for other things. Something I learned recently upon a discussion with a professor about some recent racist behavior by some frat kids:

Professor: You know, a few of those trees on the Horsehoe have some history.

Me: History?

Professor: Hangin' history...

Sometimes, living in the 1st state to secede from the union is a little too creepy for me.
