The Observation Deck of the University of Texas Tower is going to reopen
after 24 years of being closed to the public. Although the
Observation. Deck had been closed temporarily in the 1950s because of
suicides and again in 1966 after Charles Whitman's tantrum, it was closed
indefinitely on January 31, 1975 because of suicides.

I wouldn't wanna commit suicide.
I'm thinking the fall would be gorgeous.
See, cuz fall, I mean Autumn, is almost over (and right now its colors are
so striking.....she's, I mean *they're* beautiful).
well, actually, she's never over.............or ever over being beautiful.

Jim, are you in New England again?? How many times have I told you to stay away from Vermont and New Hampshire? It's just too dangerous for our central PA blood.
