Blasting!

Construction has been halted for a time for some blasting work. A large chunk of rock mysteriously appeared right in the middle of where the lower floor of the central finger should be. Some students suggested to me that the rock remain, and let the Geology Department move in around it.

According to Associate VP Ken Shultes, the first blast will be tomorrow at about 2pm. Blasting work will continue for two to three weeks -- then back to construction!
