I have returned from my three-week journey to LA, Phoenix, and Minnesota. My trip report is now a new photo essay at http://www.luterra.com/essays/journey0809.html.
Our chickens are now laying eggs! They are small but delicious.
Parts of the Washington Cascades are getting 10+ inches of rain, causing avalanches, landslides, and near-record floods. I-5 is flooded, as are all rail lines to Seattle. Here in Corvallis we are south of the big rain, with occasional showers, south winds, and temperatures in the 50s (56 today!). Starting Friday we are supposed to enter a stretch of clear, relatively warm weather. I will have to get out and enjoy it!
My classes will be more work this term, but they should also be more applicable to my interests, especially the genetics/biotechnology class.
