Oddity, reprised

I must admit to making a tactical error in my last post - specifically, in the title I gave to the cut. I did not want to give an obvious pointer to the thing that had puzzled me, so I referred to the classroom instead - and that set a number of readers haring off on that scent. Mea culpa; I did not intend that.

Nonetheless, the questions raised in comments are good ones. I've been trying to reconcile the data I have, and I can make partial reconstructions, all of which founder on one or another inconvenient fact. ( Wha' hoppen? )

I'm seriously tempted to talk to the other instructor again.

(Oh, if you weren't following comments, the oddity that had struck me was the fact that I had to stop and think to remember that the student was black. I am certainly not color-blind, but apparently her race didn't stick as a primary fact in my mind, on this particular occasion.)

Farscape

Recently, I complained about the, um, unusual scheduling of Farscape repeats by a local station. cynthia1960 pointed out the utility of DVDs, as regards this problem. But Farscape DVDs are expensive...

There's a Labor Day Sale on. $13 per collection, three collections per season, for the first three seasons; $20 per collection for the fourth season. (The last collection for season four isn't out, but may be pre-ordered.)

WOO-HOO!
