Dead catfish...

...for lack of a better title.

Hmm, its been awhile since the last update, mainly the long delay is due to my going home for vacation, which was AWESOME, despite what some may say about word misuse. But, if you are reading this, you are probably well aware of what I did at home. So let's not dwell on the AWESOMENESS of it :D

Back here in the UK, it is cold and wet as usual. The other day, at 6pm, I could see my breath. Easily. ITS MID-JULY!! Apparently, while I was gone, it rained almost every day, and all the rivers were flooded. Its been continuing to rain, I've only gotten one day of fieldwork in, with my new helper. She was great at catching crayfish, and doesn't seem to have any annoying personal habits.

I've finally found a way to stay warm. OMG, you say, IT IS JULY. Yes, it resembles Ohio's March. so, I, uh, liberated, a big fake fur coat. I'm wearing it right now. and do you know what? I AM WARM! do you know what else? It just started downpouring outside. yeehaw.

In other news, I managed to lock myself out, again. I gotta get a key copy to leave hidden outside...people keep giving me strange looks as I break in to my own house.

Lastly, I finally got a seat cover for Carl. It is actually just a sheepskin. It is nice and cozy and protective. Carl gives it two struts up.
