(2:44 PM) | Adam Kotsko:

Budgetary Restraints

I go to a school where there is supposedly constant financial crisis. (Whether there actually is at any given time is questionable, but it is prima facie plausible never comes as a shock when someone initially claims that there is.) Meanwhile, the school by which we are surrounded, University of Chicago, is apparently tearing out their old lawn and putting in new -- over an area that is, say, twice as big as the lawn at my parents' house. And none of this grass seed stuff -- no, they're putting down sod.

I feel like this must be illustrative of something.

UPDATE: Due to widespread reader outrage, this post has been edited for clarity. Here at The Weblog, we always appreciate reader feedback and try to accomodate our audience the best we can.

On an unrelated note, this is reportedly the 2196th post on this blog. Does anyone know if Blogger's stats are trustworthy now? (I remember a period last year when the counter seemed to be stuck.)

I guess the only way you would really know would be to go through and count the posts by hand, then compare it to the number Blogger gives you.
