And it was very clean. Built in 1961, 56 years ago, and it was pretty spotless.

Inspired me to clean my desk at work today.

I wonder if they had to wire up those fluorescent fixtures or they're lit by the ambient RF alone?

When I was a kid we went to the Outer Banks every summer. Mom had relatives near Greenville, her first cousin taught at ECU, then ECC, so it was a stop on the way down or the way back. We would go past those things and I would wonder "What the heck are all those antennas doin' way out there?" They were really cool at night when they were all lit up, you could see them for miles in that flat terrain and swamp.

Don't worry, we're keeping your kind on St. Helena until they're domesticated, Al. We thought combining their genes with that short Corsican guy's would calm them down, but all they do is complain about the quality of their Brie. They want the fancy Camembert.
