Max, this seems to have been quite different from Dave's usual exagerated, satirical piece, as this all rang very true to my recollections of three subboreal winters on the UND campus in Grand Forks. The naming of the pumping station in Dave's honor was in the fine tradition of the Will Rogers, Jr. Sewage Lagoon in Devils Lake, ND -- my home town. He's also absolutely right about the plentitude of parking, but be aware: not all the parking spots have outlets for head-bolt heaters.
