House moving down the street

The other day I walked out my front door and found a house moving down the street.  It turns out I used to date someone who lived in this house.  The university bought it last year and had put the house up for sale.  Someone bought it and was moving it to a new lot across campus.  Here are some photos and a video of the move.

Fall Colors on Campus and Driving West of Corvallis

Yesterday Samantha and I went on a lovely drive through the hills west of Corvallis.  We passed through Kings Valley among other cute little towns.  The trees were especially brilliant as the sun set in the west.

This power poll looked a little funny as we approached it. Upon closer inspection, we found that it was broken in half. The local power company had decided to fix it by bolting another pole onto the side of the first pole. It might not be the best fix in the world, but the poll seemed to be holding up well!

This afternoon, we went for a little stroll around campus to enjoy the warm afternoon sun and the beautiful foliage on the university trees.
