I'm not gonna say this thing will never have new entries, but I made it back to Texas, and at this point Idaho seems like a twisted dream. School craziness is already beginning (meeting new people = scary), and I'm looking forward to seeing some old faces. Thanks to all my Austin friends for making it bearable.
I'll shortly post the slide from the poster I made that encapsulates the basics of the research I did this summer, but not yet! So yes, I guess there will be another entry.

Industrial Symbiosis
I went back here today to take some more pictures of the huge piles of antlers, but they were gone! Where did they go?

Pollution Solution by Dilution
So the INL has their own news anchor team, which records the daily news that is broadcast on the flatscreens in the lobbies of the office buildings here. Too bad for them, there really isn't that much news going on at the lab. They look very professional though, and I guess broadcast journalism is a tough field to get in to, so you gotta start somewhere.
Like the INL, I don't have much news either. Things are winding down here, and I'm in the process of designing a poster for the poster show they have at the end of the summer. Improbably, my work actually turned out pretty interesting, and I'm looking forward to showing it off. Industrial development in foreign countries is soo much more universally appealing than theoretical neutron transport, so I am expecting a good reaction from the audience.
A friend and I went today to a store called Shadow Domain, which is sort of wiccan oriented and sells swords and incense and silly gifts, probably the closest thing to a headshop in Idaho Falls. We also hit up the two specialty wine shops in the town, a bakery, and the climbing gear store, so pretty much saw the best this place has to offer. Let me tell you, I am looking so forward to drinking that first Lone Star when I get back.
Below, a barn. The Vivtar Ultra Wide and Slim is awesome. We'll see if it still works after being submerged in a waterfall twice.
