I went to UGA in the late '70s. At least the university laid on shuttle 
busses even then, and even for the students. For me, it was parking in a 
field that was formerly for the chicken coops. A really _nasty_ place to 
fall down in during the rain. (Well, that and the football program taking 
precidence over _my_ chemistry studies - stay the heck away from the 
chemistry building during a football Saturday, 'cause it's not healthy.)

I must be getting old. I keep wanting to yell at people to stay off my 
lawn - even if they aren't on it.

YMMV of course
