Happy Friday. Enjoy your weekend. I’m off to the Northeastern / North-Central joint section meeting of the Geological Society of America today. We’ll see if my time in Pittsburgh gives me enough time to blog or not…

I want your pencil. :-).
I’ll send you one. Shoot me your mailing address via email, and I’ll drop a few in the mail — I’ve got 100 of them, courtesy of Steve Gough, who writes Riparian Rap.
Have a great time in Pittsburgh! I have a few classmates going to present a poster from the University of Southern Indiana!
