Alright folks, I've got a few more things to pack and some last-minute blog posts to finish, but otherwise I'm all set for the big trip to Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho. Fossil Butte, Dinosaur National Monument, Yellowstone, Grand Teton National Park, Craters of the Moon... it's going to be one hell of a vacation. At least I will have plenty to write about when I get back!
I won't return until late on August 30th, but I may pop in to share a few photos if I stop by somewhere that's wired. There will still be plenty going on here at Laelaps, though. I have scheduled a bunch of posts for while I am gone so keep checking back. See you in 17 days!

You have already heard that there has been increased seismic activity at Yellowstone National Park over the last few days. Since December 26th, there have been several earthquakes a day, some jut over 3.0 magnitude, in the vicinity of the north side of Yellowstone's lake. This is a seismically…
Yet another in today's series of reposts of articles about space policy. This is another old blog post from 2004, back when the Moon-and-Mars plan was first announced. As with the previous posts, any numbers or links in the post may be badly out of date, and there are some good comments at the…
It's "vacation"--sort of. Thanks to the magic of scheduled posts, even as this pops up I'm probably somewhere in central Illinois at the moment. I'll be in Ohio for a few days to play with my new nephews, and yet a third new nephew who was just born this past weekend. Then it's off to D.C. for a…
The 2007 World Science Fiction Convention will be held in Yokohama, Japan this year, and Kate and I are going. It's a bit of a delayed celebration for my tenure-- I'll be on sabbatical in the Fall, so I won't need to worry about prepping a class for September, and we can make it a nice vacation.
We…
Have fun!
Indeed, have fun!!
Enjoy!
I can't wait to see what you post about upon your return.
Very cool. Have fun.
All right! A fellow National Park traveler! If you see Arvid Aase at Fossil Butte, tell him Matt Brown says hi. Take the ferry across Jenny Lake at Teton and hike up to the waterfall. If you can't get a room at Old Faithful (and really you must), have dinner, spend the evening hanging out, watching the geyser, and having a Scotch, then sleep in your car in the parking lot. The bathrooms in the Lodge are in the hallways, that includes the showers.
Have a great trip. Looking forward to the photos and experiences you'll share with us.
