Wet Paint in Landry Area Thanks

100_4877

I did a couple of loads of laundry when I got home from work. This sign was taped to the wall in the stairwell leading to the basement. I think it’s a little odd. First of all, I’m sure they don’t mean to thank us for the wet paint. I also wonder what they want us to do about the wet paint. I mean, is there an invisible “Beware” or “Caution”?

And where, exactly, is the wet paint? I assumed it was on the walls, because that’s where the sign was located. However, about halfway across the floor, I realized I was wrong. Thankfully, the floor was completely dry. Surely, when painting a floor, one would block access to the room with the ubiquitous orange cones or some sort of barrier? Wouldn’t one? One would not, I think, place a sign on a wall. And one would definitely not place a sign on a wall in a stairwell that is a half flight of steps away, and around the corner from, the painted floor. Surely?!

And Two More!

The USGS site and the real time sites aren’t showing anything, at least not yet, but several of us felt the tremors. Four of them, altogether. I think being on an upper floor of a building that’s resting on bedrock may magnify them. I also noticed that having my feet flat on the floor made the shaking sensation more pronounced.
