There's a chill in the air, the students are back, and you can smell wood smoke in the autumn night. It feels like summer is coming to a close. But we can still enjoy a few nice weekends outdoors, and what better place to relax than on Lake Mendota, at the Memorial Union Terrace. They have bands playing outside on a stage at the lakeshore, the Rathskellar for beer and food, famous Babcock Hall ice cream, and these colorful, fun, "sunburst" chairs everywhere. There is a gigantic chair that you can take your photo with, and over the years these have become sort of iconic of the University. I just enjoy the splashes of color whenever I am up there.
