For the past year the chalkboard in Paterson 421 has been home to a number of doodles and puns about bees. Towards the end of the year the fun of the puns grew wearisome as calls to “pollinate the board with a new theme” grew louder. However, no one wanted to erase it. In September I took a picture of it and posted it on Facebook. Later it was tagged with the names of contributors to the board, perhaps suggesting that the creator of the image was present in the image itself? Finally, two brave souls took the initiative to erase the board a week or two later. (No hasty decisions were made)A photograph of the board allowed the chalk creation to be erased. I wonder if it was it the act of photographing it allowed for it to be erased or its dissemination on Facebook?
Not everything was documented. The photo did not capture the thuggish evil looking bee behind the calendar which was hidden from view most of the time. Now the hidden bee is lost forever.
