This sunflower @roosroast is 10′3″. This barista is 5″2′. The flowers rule over all! [photo]

Liberty near Seventh

It is annoying when someone clears their drive but ignores the sidewalk. It is really a problem when they clear the drive and throw up more obstacles for pedestrians. If I had hired this snow removal firm, I would be firing them. [photo] It was even worse earlier, before walkers had climbed over the snow boulders to try and pass safely.

West Park at Chapin

Observed a number of people driving in to West Park to drop off Christmas trees, or more accurately – do an impressive toss to the top of the pile. Perfect weather for that! [photo 1] [photo 2]

Jackson Rd. & Parkland Plaza

Parkland Plaza is newly paved. That’s in Scio Township, but I’m not sure if that’s township purview or Washtenaw County Road Commission, or perhaps even a private road.

West Park Pond

American bittern (juvenile?) showed itself on the woods (south) side of the boardwalk around 9 p.m. Perhaps the same one I reported seeing on Aug. 3, before I knew what it was. At dusk on Aug. 4, a larger American bittern was stalking and catching fish and taking short flights over the pond.

The Internet Bird Collection has some good video here: [video]

The Civic Band is just starting up at 8 p.m. [photo 1] [photo 2] A moderate crowd waits in the setting sun. [photo 3] Some appear to be shuttled to the band shell by a city electric car zipping to Chapin Street parking and back. [photo 4]

AAPS Briefed on Skyline Turf Field

Chronicle Staff — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 13:19:05 +0000

The AAPS board of trustees has been briefed on a recommendation to award a contract to AstroTurf in the amount of $858,056 for a synthetic turf field at Skyline High School.

AstroTurf was the lowest bidder out of the four bids received. AstroTurf was recommended not only because it was the lowest bidder, but also because it is the only field that has an antimicrobial product applied at the factory as a standard. The district would not need to apply an antimicrobial every year, as with other field surfaces.

The bid was posted on Dec. 20, 2012 on the AAPS and the State of Michigan websites.

The briefing came at the board’s Feb. 13, 2013 meeting. The board will vote on the purchase after a second briefing at a future regular meeting.

This brief was filed from the board room of the Ann Arbor District Library in downtown Ann Arbor at Fifth and William. A more detailed report of the meeting will follow: [link]
