Back to Normal

Things at TVG have been slow for the past couple of weeks. I have been DCed from the internets, on vacation in Western PA. We had the pleasure of visiting Ohiopyle State Park and dipping out feet in the freezing Yough on a hot day. A few miles north of Ohiopyle is Wright's Falling Water, and beyond that is Bear Run nature reserve, where we spent a cool, damp afternoon.

It's truly a lovely area, beautiful place for camping. One of the campsites sits alongside a sizable stream surrounded by thickets of rhododendron and mountain laurel, shadowed by a stand of hemlock.

So, things will be returning to some semblance of order as I search for a job this summer. I finally had a chance to finish a couple of books I actually wanted to read in the past couple weeks, including Davies' new one, Cosmic Jackpot and Morwood's A New Human, the story of the discovery of Homo floresiensis.

Here's to another beautiful summer of science blogging.
