Here are a couple of paper towel dispensers in a restroom at UT. They represent a bit of paper history that still appears in many restrooms. The left one says Fort Howard, referring the paper corporation formerly based in Green Bay, WI (there was once a U.S. military Fort Howard in Green Bay). One of my grandfathers was a career employee at the big Fort Howard paper mill in Green Bay. The one on the right says Fort James, which was sort of a made-up name that came out when the Fort Howard Corporation merged with the James River Corporation. That company later become part of Georia-Pacific. Threatening weather rolled over Austin today, but we only got a couple sprinkles. Katie and I picked flowers tonight and we saw bee balm in blossom and milkweed pods open with seeds - in May!
