I found a raven skull.

And a duck skull.

(This snake was singing "I Believe I Can Fly." It was quite touching. So I helped him fly (PPS. You can see a little prong of guts coming out of him. Very cool.). )

Fun in the Mountains with Libby. You can have some Too.

Life is lovely.



And snowy.



We went on our first field mission this week but it only lasted two days. It rained. It snowed. It even hailed. And the dusty dirt we had sped across the first day - sunny - soon became North Carolina red clay which stuck to our feet in uneven, heavy loads which enabled us to slide across (and down and up and over) it as if we were skiing. But with far more effort than skiing. As mud is a little bit thicker than snow. Or water.



I dug my first latrine hole. We had our first campfire. We slept in a tent under the rain and snow and it was lovely. I have a perfect coworker and even though he tends to forget things sometimes or make mistakes he accepts problems so well that I almost like working with him better for the mistakes. And anyway my pride requires that I at least be better at some things. Even if they only involve computers.



I am buying a car. And it is not a Civic. Apparently the demand for Civic's because of their reputation has driven up the cost. I am looking at Hyundai Alantra or something and something something something and something can't remember. But it will be manual. It will be under $140 a month. It will have a bike rack and a roof rack. For my kayak. (Big Mack)



And now I have to pee. Goodbye.
