Web tip of the week, Dec. 26, 2011 – Real time 911 fire & rescue

Click on the Real time 911 fire & rescue when you want to know which streets or highways might be closed due to a snow storm or accident. It has been a time saver for me when I take those quick errands around town or when I drive to Kansas City.

For those of you who heard carolers in Ellis today…

Here are the lyrics that were sung!

I’ll be Out of CPRR (pronounced Seeper)
To the tune of “I’ll be home for Christmas”

….

I’m dreaming tonight of the real circ. desk
Even more than I usually do
And although I know it’s a long road back
I promise you…

I’ll be out of CEEPER,
Back in I- L – L.
We’ll have doors, and walls and floors
And that new carpet smell!
Students need to study
In a quiet place
I’ll be home next semester
In my office space.

Twenty-twelve will find me
In Ellis one-oh-three!
I love all my colleagues,
But not quite so close to me!
