They have benches in storage to replace any bench that gets damaged. Actually they are pretty comfortable for wooden benches. Saw the new bench today when I was on campus. In fact Channel 9 was taking pictures of the empty bench around 12:30 this afternoon.
When I saw the sentence that benches were being replaced by OU workers all I could think of is the old story.
A man driving along accidently hits a cat. Saddened and feeling very remorseful I looks at the cats tag and goes to the owner's house. " M'am "he says to the woman who answers the door. "I am very sorry and it was an accident but I hit your cat. I feel just awful and would like to replace it" The woman looks somewhat skeptically and answers " I suppose that is only fair but how are you at chasing mice?"
Now on to other matters. Any new information? Is the FBI still in charge? Hope of course that you and yours are safe and well.
