Science!

My friend Aly (Alyson, first article) is getting national press, most recently in today's NYTimes.

Oh, one more...

We went to the New Bolton Center and drew on a cow. That triangle is the paralumbar fossa. I can't make out the rest of the drawings...

More...

There's that horse again. They were cut sagitally (down the middle) so we could see all the inner structures. Note the large tongue, and the brain!One of the most recent foster kittens, Moses.

Some pictures

Not a lot of time to caption each of them (vet school has us in the middle of a long two weeks of midterms and finals before spring break), but here they are anyway:

Pam came to visit (in November). We went to the art museum and the independence center:

We signed the Constitution:

We dissected a horse head in anatomy:

Kate and I went skiing. This is the only picture i took:

Panda, Adams Farm, and me

Since the big snow, the only people to have x-country skied at Adams Farm have been Murphys. Unless you count the person who strapped on his skis on the second day after the storm, went twenty feet from his vehicle and said, "Whoops! Too deep!" Four snowshoers were there over the weekend. Other than that, the only outsiders to have used the trails are Murphys.

On Friday, as Panda and I were leaving, a Ford Expedition with a Triton v8 and department of Environmental Conservation sticker on the side from the Roger's environmental Education Center showed up with three people in it who I've seen there before recreating. The driver wanted to know if he could make it if he drove down the road to the ponds. I pointed out the barrier of snow left by the plow and he said, "what if i got a running start?" I told him I didn't think he'd make it and besides he'd destroy my hard-earned trail and, anyway, doesn't that sticker say something about environmental conservation and shouldn't you be walking?

Panda and I broke the trail down the road two days after the storm and it was torture. Mom,. Panda and I broke the woods trail two days later. Not so bad. Tomorrow, Panda and I will break the River trail. I hope I can keep the environmental conservationists from stomping on my handiwork.

"Gore’s mansion, located in the posh Belle Meade area of Nashville, consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year, according to the Nashville Electric Service."

Was Al Gore's private jet one of the 80 that flew Oscar attendees to the "first green academy awards"? Like "sustainability" and "appropriate technology", global warming is an attempt to keep lesser human beings from prospering so that the limousine liberals can maintain their lifestyles.

Or try This.

"So let’s all welcome the first Green Oscars. Nobody is as concerned about climate change as we are here in southern California. You know why? Because we pay top dollar for our houses in Malibu and Beverly Hills, and the thought that the climate, which never changes, could actually, you know, change, makes us crazy. And we’re determined to do something about it — even if it means the rest of you take the D train for the rest of your lives."

SE Basketball

Here's Wilson Rose (University of Rochester, Class of 2011) going for the basket during last night's sectional game against Jordan-Elbridge, and here's a very brief article about it in today's Evening Sun. The final score, if I correctly remember, was 69-41, making S-E 21-0. I went to the game and had a good time watching them play -- Wilson and John Pinney make quite the duo. We'll see what happens next. Friday night they play . . . (dunh dunh DUNH) . . . Marcellus.
