A bunch of photos of the Pie

Yesterday I took Tasha to the vet to get a checkup and some anti-heartworm pills. It ended up being a really hot day, and the walk was about 2.3 miles each way. Woof. Alot of the walk was through a large park, so there was shade available. On the way back we stopped at Sonic for some iced tea...and water, heh heh. Pie schmoozed with the waitress lady. The waitress lady was NOT wearing roller skates.

Here are some pictures taken in the park on the way back.

Mmm, Sonic water.


Something funny over there I suppose. Possibly children. Bask, bask, bask.




Do a barrel roll!!!





And now, photos of me, as well. I finally got some new sandals:


Rawr!



That is all! Unfortunately today it is very stormy so no outside adventures for us. Only...the thesis!

Well, its certainly been awhile since my last post, and lots of things have happened since then. But, probably, if you are reading this you already know all about them. Basically, I moved back to Ohio for a month before heading to Missouri to start my new (old) job. I'm very happy to be back on the crayfish crew, leading brave crustacean hunters on various adventures in southern Missouri. The person who is leaving my position and I went out this week to do some recon and collect some crayfish for Wash. Uni. in St. Louis. It was wonderful to be out in those beauuuuutiful Ozark streams...catching crayfish!

And now, to begin what will certainly be an ongoing feature:

Things I miss about England
-Public transit...around the entire country!

Things I am so glad to get back to
-Very few diesel cars means when I am riding my bike I can actually, you know, BREATHE freely. The difference is...very pleasing.
