Global Warming is real, get off your ass and do something about it




I'll edit this later, but I think we need to wake up, smell the CO2 (haha) and start doing what we need to do to save the planet.

Incidentally, it was the pictures of the melting glaciars and Arctic ice that convinced me about two years ago.

Some more pictures





After I get done with Zoology, I want to have fun with the children. I want to learn how to put the boat into and out of the water without DH. It may take all season before I'm secure in that skill.

Trying to post pictures I really want to go out on the boat

Zoology

I finished my first week of Zoology and it really isn't as dreadful as I had imagined.

First, the classes are *not* M-TH 12-5, rather, they are M and W 12-2, Tu and Th 12-5ish.

Second, Professor Van Meter seems to be very sweet.

It is a shitload of work every day. I took 14 pages of notes in one day!!!My penmanship is dreadful so I will by taking my laptop to type in notes and a sketch pad for the illustrations. (Yes, my line drawings are better than my penmanship.)

As I went to class on Tuesday, I realized how much I wanted to be in school. I had two weeks off and two weeks is more than enough for me to recharge my batteries for another challenge. I met my good friend, Tim Mack getting out of Organic Chem. (He said it wasn't that bad, I got to meet the O'Chem Prof, and see a couple of other people. I feel privileged to be able to go to school after all these years.I applied to the Pre-med program last week, I hope they accept me.Let's see, four years of undergrad, four years of grad, residency, my goal is to go as long as possible without getting a *real* job.
