So I walk into the bathroom, which is basically an outhouse with plumbing, and these frogs are sitting in the overflow drain holes of the sink. They didn't even flinch as I took their pictures, or washed my hands. I guess there are plenty of bugs and no snakes in the bathroom. Yet.
Starry night
Try viewing a large version of this photo by clicking on it. You should be able to see some stars, and just the slightest hint of star trails. The Moon is nearly full, so I'm expecting werewolves to come hunt down some of the bambis that have been prancing around the meadow like they own the place. The point is, when the moon is new, I'll take some pictures and try to get the Milky Way.
A typical evening at the fire
This is one way to relieve tedium: fire and beer. I asked John to play "rockin' in the free world", because I was getting sick of hearing sad folky songs. He said it was the first time he knew a song someone requested; i helped him sing it.
Box of goodies
Lately I've been doing a lot of this: labeling small plastic bottles, filling them with water and freezing them. I'm going to thaw some of them out in a week and run ammonia on them. The others are going to be next day shipped to Minnesota on dry ice, so that I can spend all of fall semester analyzing them.
Science is tedious, the trick is finding a tedium you can stand.
