So... after doing laps inside my academic building (around the office hallway)... I decided to finally go into the 'Patty' center -- where the pool and larger locker rooms are -- to figure out how you can go in, take off your boots and winter gear, stow them in a locker and then traverse over to the indoor track and machines (there's an indoor ice rink between the Patty center and the Student Rec Center with the indoor track etc).
Well - upon being stopped and asked what I needed by what appeared to be a student worker.. I explain my dilemma of coming in with all the winter gear and trying to figure out how to get shed, lockered, and into the SRC.
Seems not too bad; go downstairs in the Patty Center, rent a locker, change into gear -except for indoor only sneakers so perhaps wear [as suggested] FLIP FLOPS and go to the SRC via the Ice Rink.
But when I ask if it will be obvious to find the way to the ice rink from downstairs, I find out there apparently ISN'T one.. According to this nimrod - I am supposed to go BACK outside once shedded and in flip flops to enter the ice rink from outdoors. After all it's only down a flight of stairs or so and around the corner.
Uh, WTF? hello - it hasn't really been getting above 20 degrees - the whole point of the indoor track is to excercise INDOORS - not pretend to be a flippin Polar Bear.
Speaking of which - saw my first Polar Bear... - stuffed - mascot in the Patty Center since the sports teams here are the Nanooks (native term for polar bear).

HAH, flip-flops!? Mine are already packed away for next year. What was she thinking?
Justin decided - only a few days ago, mind you - that he would like to BE a polar bear for Halloween. Where the heck am i gonna find THAT in 3 days?? Maybe I can come up and borrow the stuffed one for him?
