Again nothing to do with travel or science...

BUT this is one of my favorite passtimes, SCRABBLE. Mattel is now allowing proper names into the mix!!!! NOT okay!!!!!



I am pretty disappointed in Mattel, but I feel Colbert said it best, so I'm sharing it with you all

Enjoy and then get angry! None of this proper noun business will ever happen on my scrabble board! And I am letting it slide that there are not two z's in a game of scrabble...the rest is too good!

Nothing to do with science or travel...

BUT these guys are AMAZING. I saw them last night for the second time and they just rock my socks. Music makes my world go round and these guys are a great addition to my collection. Their studio albums don't do 'em justice, but they are still rockin!

The Devil Makes Three!

Enjoy the sounds folks!

This is AWESOME!!

Scientists have found a sea slug that produces chlorophyll!!!! part plant, part animal=AMAZING!!!

Read it folks! Words cannot describe how exciting this discovery is! A defining feature of plants is the ability for them to create this pigment...the chloroplast is one of the major differences between the plant and animal cells. I want to see the cells in this bad boy!

CRAZINESS!!!

Read all about it!

Wicklow Mountains

So during my last weekend in Ireland Abrahm took us up to the Wicklow Mountains. It was gorgeous! It was a rare sunny day in Ireland and windy as hell and oh so perfect. The mountains are more beautiful than anything so I will let one place tell that story, Sally Gap

So lovely

this is someone's private lake, by the way. Not a shabby backyard, eh?

examples of windiness and coldness

After our mini hike we headed to Avoca handweavers, a famous Irish wool company. The old looms are so intricate and daunting, I don't know how they do it. We had a deliciouslunch there and then headed back to Dublin. It was a lovely day and I got to see another part of Ireland thanks to my gracious tour guide. I am so grateful he let me stay and that Sarah mentioned the idea in the first place. Wicklow was my last adventure in Europe and man was I sad to come home. But we all know there's more adventuring in store for me; can't keep me in one place too long!

So I was San Francisco bound.

Now the only question is, what's next?
