Weather: Clear and sunny
Location: In front of Waller Hall
Time: 1420-1440 hours
I decided to sit in front of Waller hall for this observation so I could write some things about the chestnuts that drop from the trees around that area. They are green and spiky, with a solid brown nut in the center of the shell. The nut is exactly the same as the one in the picture, but the shell is different from the one in the picture. The shell in the picture is brown with many hair-thin spikes, while the shell on the real chestnut is bright green with a few large spikes. The spikes on the chestnut are not sharp enough to cut on casual contact, but they can cause severe discomfort if gripped tightly. It is plausible that they could draw blood under extreme circumstances.
