Happy anniversary to the Asian Food Affair for all those who remember. #ucsc #SantaCruz #CrownCollege

@futurebird @blikkie At #UCSC in the late 1960s, we did not have separate dining rooms for faculty in general, although I’m sure that the Chancellor and his minions had a nice place of their own. Each residential college of 500-odd students had a dining commons that sat 300 or more, which we shared with our on-campus faculty couples and many of the commuters. However, the Junior Commons next to the dining halls had televisions, while the faculty-only #CrownCollege Senior Commons had much more comfortable leather couches, a walk-in marble fireplace (borrowed from Hearst’s San Simeon Castle), and sherry. We use it for small reunions now, but the couches haven’t held up so well.

@sundogplanets I am certain that #ElephantSeals are worse. Especially the #AlphaMales from the #DeltaQuadrant. They are much larger, much louder, eat more of the crab and calamari that I like the best, and exhibit wildly excessive #SexualDimorphism. The beach masters’ #harem acquisition also condemns many perfectly fine male elephant seals to lives as #incels. I took a #CrownCollege Core class at #UCSC in 1968 from #BurneyLeBoeuf, who was just beginning his studies at #AñoNuevoStatePark while also fathering the field of #Psychobiology. Admittedly, the class was on an unrelated subject—#ScienceCultureAndMan, but, still, #ProveMeWrong.
