Concrete pumper

Yesterday, a really big truck with a long blue tail coiled on its back came to the park.  Today there are sidewalks for people to stand on.  Sometimes they stand on the dirt instead.

This yak is enormous

I'm giving an exam Tuesday, and I need to write up the questions for copying.

Maybe LaTeX can do Babylonian numerals so that I don't have to draw them in by hand?

(search, search)

Yes!  So, how do I set up a fresh LaTeX document again?

(fuss, fuss)

Hm.  Now how do I tell LaTeX to use those fonts?

(search, search)

Aha!  A sampler of ancient fonts in LaTeX!  Now to compile it!

Ah, my TeX installation is out of date.

(search, download...)

Yeah, sure.  I'm getting lots of work done.  Really.
