Rather than having Eric climb these steps to meet me after work yesterday, I walked down because we were headed for one of the lower parking lots anyway. Since I was a couple of minutes early, I stopped to admire the beautiful oleander in full bloom. On my left, building B rises up; its facade is not actually blue but glass, and it’s the reflection of the sky that gives it that rich color. The little box in the area between the banisters contains salt. Though it may be hard to believe in this season, winter temperatures do occasionally dip below the freezing point, making these steps a very treacherous affair indeed, hence the salt bin. The grounds of the Amadeus campus are always meticulously well maintained, something most employees really appreciate.
