An Autumn Sunday in Flint

Autumn is finally upon us! Which means that Frederick's and my weekend-ly walk from our house to my office, which takes us across various parts of the campus of Mott Community College and past the College Cultural Center (which includes the Flint Institutes of Art [where Jami has learned pottery, weaving, mosaicking et. al.] and Music [where Thomas has learned percussion, piano and bassoon] and one of the only planetariums [planetaria?] in the state) will be at its most pleasant. Particularly as it has stopped bucketing with rain.

Companion on our trip this week was Frederick's new froggy pal.


Here he hops happily along the edges of one of the parking garages of Mott Community College.

Here's the old Central High School, closed last year. That big chimney used to be part of a welding lab, but that was closed long ago.

From the top of the other MCC parking garage you can see the FIA and planetarium.

It seems that every other week in Flint we have a classic car show of some sort. I had no idea this would be happening - they must advertise them on The Fogey Channel on television or something.

Neither is true of Frederick, actually. But we love him just the same.
