Note
Well, well, well, besides being the last day in March and a precursor chemical to April, it's also Game Day, and a lot of people will be heading downtown to their favorite restaurants and sports bars, and even just regular old get drunk cowboy bars. In order to keep things as orderly as possible, the City Council has issued some special regulations governing conduct downtown for the hours from 4 pm until 11:59 pm:
1) If you're not going to be dressed in Brown and Gold, you must be dressed mostly in blue and have at least one KU sticker prominently affixed to any outerwear.
2) If someone greets you and it's not someone you are acquainted with, instead of the usual response "Go Cowboys", it will be acceptable to say "Go Jayhawks" instead, but it should be said with less exuberance than would be used with "Go Cowboys".
3) Patrons will refrain from cheering when the VIllanova team makes any dunks or three point shots. Light applause will be permitted if they make a free throw attempt, as a show of good sportsmanship.
4) When ordering any alcoholic beverage, patrons must demonstrate spelling proficiency by spelling correctly the name of any Kansas player the bartender or server names. Misspellings of "Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk" will not be counted against the patron.
Other than that, it will probably just a be a usual Saturday afternoon in downtown Laramie today.
Note
More winter today, though temps were on the milder side of winter (30s in town, somewhat under that up top.) Biked some, which was about as chilly as expected. Skied some, too, with some new snow and grapple coming down right before I started. Even did some running, and by far running proved to be the best choice for the day's conditions.
The sun was 100% not fun and in fact was 100% nowhere to be seen, all day long.
