Today was a very unusual day starting when I pulled into the parking lot at the University of Texas. I was greeted with a sign telling me a campus wide alert system would be tested at noon. I had planned to be inside the Bullock Museum during the test so the alert siren would not bother me but it sure spooked a few other people who were attending the same lecture I was attending. The lecture was very interesting! It was about the history of Luby's Cafeterias. The author of The Rise and Fall of Plenty read from her book about the history of Luby's Cafeterias. When the lecture was over I toured an exhibit of terracotta and stone then headed for one of UT's libraries where I read a couple of newspapers. I was running a little low on energy by this time so I took a coffee break at the Blanton Museum of Art's coffee shop. While setting at the coffee shop I heard another alarm go off and all kinds of lights started flashing. The fire alarm in the museum's main building had been activated and people were poring out of the Blanton's front door. It must of been a false alarm because before I finished my coffee the Museum was letting people back in to the building. The days weirdness was not finished. On the walk back to my car I saw lots of police at the Texas University Conference Center-Hotel but I could not tell what was going on. Tonight, I saw on the local TV news that a dead body had been found in the Conference Center-Hotel.
