-Glimpse 1- This morning after meeting #1 the subordinate and I went to talk to BRORB about getting a car to go to the woods. Clearly she was busy at work, because she was reading a blog online entitled How to Catch a Salmon. Of course we had to hassle her about this. We found out it was because there is an upcoming meeting with the bigwigs of the FS. And that meeting is a salmon fishing trip. Because that's just how they roll out here. Although admittedly in SC, deer hunting was a prime meeting territory for FS bigwigs. We actually had to learn how to clean deer and how to navigate food plots- not so much for wildlife management, but for networking.
-Glimpse 2- After lunch, Subordinate and I went to another meeting, which we were a bit early for... we were told to wait at the front desk because the forest service employees hadn't finished their yoga session yet. Yes. The hardcore salmon fishers also have a daily yoga time.
I'm not kidding. This is where I live. I love it!
... and on a side note, you can listen to NPR's All Things Considered streaming online! This discovery has just made working long hours at the computer significantly better. I do love NPR, but All Things Considered is my favorite of the NPR programs-- it has so much variety and really interesting interviews-- everything from book reviews to national news.
... and on another side note my Subordinate is going to China this summer for three weeks to dig up mushrooms with his fiancee. OSU has one of the top mycology programs in the nation (I think maybe Berkeley is more famous as a mycology school) and they are looking at similar fungal climates across the globe. Apparently its some sort of ecological study based out of a city in the southwest that will send them to several different cities across the country. I thought this was a very cool project (although it is not his project). Come on OSU! Send me abroad, too!
