But "ou" is a more common vowel combination than "oa", and frequency of use is probably a bigger factor than keyboard proximity in those kinds of typos.

Agreed. I have a similar set of random repetitive typos I make on pretty much a daily basis.

One of my deals is that I can't type the word "ratio" -- it always ends up as "ration", and then I have to go back and delete the "n". It even happened this time when I was consciously thinking about it.

Pretty sure "typo" would be the wrong description. Maybe idiosyncrasy? Like nightowl24 not capitalizing letters in his posts.

Love this construction project aerial photo overlay:

Judging from the photo, it looks like the trees behind the endzone will be lost

Several weeks ago, mature trees were being moved to the area behind third base just outside The Reck. As sensitive as RU is towards their trees, I'd imagine any in harm's way would be relocated somewhere on campus.

They're actually doing stuff. A machine is chewing a hole in one corner of the endzone seating, and the scoreboard is being dismantled.
