This might cause that Engineering School ranking to slip a few notches

Now that things are back to normal, and seeing that it's college football season, let me use this opportunity to poke fun at our Big XII Conference brethren to the north, the Fightin' Texas Aggies:

Truly, Loupot's Bookstore has hit upon a window boarding strategy I hadn't previously considered.

Found on Eric Berger's SciGuy weblog

Nonsense, Pete. That boarding job is perfect if you're interested in protecting College Station from the raging maelstrom of Liberalism that surely swirls within that den of iniquity.

It's also possible that we're not looking at boards at all, and that store opted to protect their wares by filling the place, floor to ceiling, with Cracker Jack.

Loupot's slogan: "Serving Over 10 Literate Aggies Since 1887!"

I was in the store (showing Houston refugees the major sights and sounds of C-Town) when the owner was installing his hurricane protection. I asked him why the boards on the inside, and his response was ,"Hell...I can lose glass but I can't lose my stock...besides I already started nailing it on inside. What's the point?" I agree, those Aggie onesies and chess sets are much more irreplaceable than that thousand dollars window. JEEEZ

He's not protecting the store from the outside, He's protecting the outside from the store.
