Parking by the cows is . . .

• smelly
• muddy
• approximately 800 yards from this keyboard
• in transition (because of the pipeline construction occurring all around the parking lot)
• not policed
• picturesque
• interesting, since the people you see driving out to park there as you walk in to the campus have found that they cannot get into their usual lot, and so they bear a lost look upon their faces, which seems to say, "where am I going? Surely not out by the cows? Oh my, where am I going?"
• time consuming
• awareness expanding, as in, "the administration gives not a rip for anyone driving, since it fits their agenda of the moment to destroy parking lots and put up buildings and gardens and pipelines, and those in search of parking can use public transportation to get close enough to their place of work to hike a mile or so."
• rant-producing
