The last several days have dawned gray and dreary.  But that doesn’t bother me because a couple days ago we had the most spectacular sunrise you can imagine.  I really wanted to share it with you here.

It has been pretty quiet on the blog front lately. I think that is because we are at our second site and core is coming up “on deck” at a rapid pace. We (the team of scientists) have gotten more efficient with experience, but that means that we work very hard for 12 hours, which is actually pretty draining by the time those 12 hours are up.  Julie helps out by sharing her outreach activities with us.  And, when she is not busy with that, she often lends a hand with our sample taking, sample processing, etc.  Check out her blogs.
