Posting again already!

Not too much happened in the past day. Really I'm just posting because I finally figured out what happens to socks that disappear in the washing machine, and there is no one here to celebrate with me. What a nerd! But the socks- I was doing laundry and one of my socks was stuck almost all the way under the agitator. I had to fight the machine for it, but I got my sock back. That must be what happens: the agitator sucks up your sock and takes it to the deep reaches of the washer. Just a theory, but it doesn't take much to excite me.
It's been so nice here. Today, it was in the mid-70s. At work, we did our first bit of field work. We really just measured a field, but it was a great excuse to go to Milan and hang out outside. We even took our lunches and ate by a pond on the experiment station up there.
