I went up to the UofI in Moscow last weekend, they have a nice campus up there. Tshering showed me the lab where she's sectioning fish eyes, and looking for optic nerves. The lab was spacious, modern and organized compared to others I've seen. Tshering even has her own desk!
Moscow is kinda fun too. The city reminds me of a mini Boulder CO, lots of big old style houses rented by students, some artsy shops, and lots of young people hanging around. I imagine the place is a real riot during the school year.
It was nice to be in a cool green place after dealing with the first heat wave of south Idaho summer. I was also particularly impressed by the huge rolling fields. Apparently they don't have to irrigate at all up there. The rain is sufficient to keep things green and growing.
Driving through the Nez Perce Indian Reservation, and then down out of the mountains into the lush green camas prarie, I couldn't help but wonder how the previous owners would view the roads, houses and towns which dot the fields which once were theirs. Seeing the richness of the land, gave me a new understanding of the motivation behind driving Chief Joseph and his people off of the land.

Never understood people who put the date on the photos of a digital camera. Seems a bit old school. Never heard of file properties or EXIF data? Jeez.
The digital camera is from new school, but the idea of keeping the pic in the blog must be from old school. I don't understand it either. :)
Haha dang, can't please anyone....
Sorry Sammy, but I am pleased..:)
Oh good, better you than Mike ;)
Yet somehow you keep going... Regardless of what I say.
Yeah, Mike is pretty serious about a lot of things... Apparently he was appointed by God to ensure that everyone does everything THE right way. ;)
