Bits and Pieces: A bit of a piece and a piece of a bit


Sign outside the research station where crystal is doing her reseach (well, the place we stay from which we drive about 1.5 hours into the logging-truck infested backwoods to the study site proper) and I am currently working. Its just a sign. Not that exciting.


This is the research station house where we sleep duing our time in the field. It s a step up from a tent, for sure! This is the first offical snowfall that we saw there...beautiful. And then I lost my work keys in the snow and spent the next two nights raking snow trying to find them (I did, eventually). Exercise...whew...raking show is an excellent (fruitless, some may say) way to spend a couple of evenings and burn off energy your dont have after working all day. I suggest it. Right now...go ahead.throw your keys out the window (close your eyes first) and then wait a night, then tomorrow try to find them with a rake and a flashlight (there should be snow to do this). It's fun for the whole family.


My mug a la beard and long-ish hair (crystal cut some last night).



Happy Halloween everyone...belated happiness.


Today is the day: Mercury transits the sun at around 11:10am local time. So, check out some websites if you are unable to properly check it out in person - properly, which means dont look at the sun directly. www.badastronomy.com is a good place to start your e-astronomy viewing. Take care, im done for a while here.
