Back to the books

I'm done, I'm done, I'm done!! work term is over. It was a pretty good term although it could have been a bit more stimulating, but now its all over. Back to the books for me. School starts Monday, so hopefully my mind hasn't seized up over the last four months. I might need to give it a little kick start and get the rust out of it.
"ok Dave...what is the first law of thermodynamics?"
"ummm....isn't it about stuff that can do stuff and not other stuff?"

Oh darn....I'm in trouble. Well, I better pack up my belongings so I can get moved back into my apartment and start studying. Enjoy your summer!!!

They've done it!!!

I need to get myself one of these

In the space of 176 years the Lower Mississippi has shortened itself 242 miles. That is an average of a trifle over 1-1/3 miles a year. Therefore any calm person, who is not blind or idiotic, can see that in the Old Oolitic Silurian Period, just a million years ago next November, the Lower Mississippi River was upward of 1,300,00 miles long, and stuck out over the Gulf of Mexico like a fishing rod. And by the same token any person can see that 742 years from now the Lower Mississippi will be only 1-3/4 miles long, and Cairo and New Orleans will have joined their streets together…There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesome returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact.

That, my friends, is why I like science :-D

Bout that time again ain't it?

So I guess its time to let y'all what I been up to lately. After all I'm working for the government which means I get a four day weekend (good Friday and Easter Monday) Not bad at all. Got to sleep in Friday, and then when to church and after the service we had a soup dinner at the church. Friday night a bunch of us got together and played some pool and stuff and when for a walk in the foggy woods. Oh so spooky.
Saturday was another good long sleep-in and Saturday afternoon we went for a hike. Of course Pete and I got there late so we walked around for an hour trying to find everybody else. We finally met a couple of people and after wandering around with them for another hour, we finally managed to catch up with everybody else. That night we went to watch the Hamilton Bulldogs play their final game of the season (we got in free too, courtesy of Pizza-Pizza!) They even had a semi-steaker (upper-body male nudity you know) who came running out on the ice and then flopped down and slid on his belly. Plus there was the crazy drunk people who where trying to get everybody to do the wave, and couple of really good fights.....and even a bit of hockey. not a bad night at all.
Sunday we went to do some singing for the old folks at a local long term care home, and after church we went and played some beach volleyball. A couple of use decided that plain old volleyball is just boring so we started diving for every single ball. I discovered something new. Sand doesn't taste good...and it sucks when it goes up your nose. We also had a Sudoku compition. I've never done that game before but I think I'm addicted now.
Ahh yes, all in all a good weekend. Well I'm pretty busy doing nothing right now so I'm going to go back to it. y'all enjoy yourselves now.
