Sorry for the long delay in posting. An overcast but bright day in the field last week without sunglasses combined with a computer intensive week, all served up hot under some new ultra high intensity fluorescent tubes directly above my head has left me with a significant case of eye strain. I didn't realize how bright those tubes were, or I would have strapped a couple of these oatmeal can eclipse viewers to my skull before entering the building. Anyway, when I get eye strain, I tend to be nauseated and headachey around the clock, so I've tried to avoid any extra computer hours in my life these past days at almost any cost.
After many an angry email about the lack of updates, I have decided to bravely choke back the actual vomit and spew forth some blog-vomit for your reading pleasure...
First off, in trying to find an appropriate picture to convey just how freaking bright these new fluorescent bulbs are, I did an image search on "burned retinas". It turns out that only a few google image results for this search are actually about bright things, while the majority are from people blogging about things that they have seen that are so horrifying so as to burn the image onto their retinas forever. Most aren't really appropriate, but here is one for your viewing pleasure:
You're welcome.It is time to end this post as the fuzzy orange haze is starting to creep back into the edges of my vision... more coming as soon as I stop heaving... BH

You should let the woman in the picture know that in the woods in Connecticut she should wear long pants and a long sleeve shirt in light colors... really... in an outfit like that she's just providing a lovely hiding place for the ticks... something I'm sure she'll regret down the line.
has the fuzzy orange haze subsided? I need a sketometer fix dude!
And it's time for a story from Sue...
"... That's why you can't look directly at the sun. You will burn your retina."
"Mrs. Vitali? Can we still look at pictures of the sun?"
