Hoe-La

Back to 'civilization' and finally settled into a nice place south of campus. Field school was...well, long and informative and a whole bunch more adjectives that could be taken in multiple ways. I'm glad to be back where I have control over my company, let's just say, and glad to be up in the mountains working for the Uinta again. It's paradise, really.

My field school summary, in brief, is this: I'm sick of camping with archaeologists, we hit a cow with the truck (no damage to either party), midden is artifact rich, I'm sick of archaeologists, Anasazi are cool, but I'm still doing a historic thesis, did I mention I'm sick of archaeologists?, my crew was freaking hilarious (I'll tell stories, but not here), we got 13 flat tires including my freeway blowout on the last day, and I'm sick of archaeologists. About sums it up. Love my job, don't get me wrong! We really did find some neat things. It'll be interesting to follow the research over the years of the project, though I'll be long gone by the time it's done.

I'm a bit slow on the uptake of reestablishing contact with everyone, so my apologies, but internet service was finally installed in the house yesterday, so that'll help. I had to turn my baby (that's my laptop, for those of you who don't here the day-to-day cooing) in for a little maintenance check. Thankfully it only took a couple days and since it's from PC Laptops, didn't cost me a thing.

My other baby, Dirt the Subaru, got new tires Monday. She's ready for a road trip. I think I'll go to Disneyland in a couple weeks. No really. I'll post pictures. Now to find a digital camera...

Well, Pirates part deux is good, for those who haven't seen it, though, as expected, I had some issue with the increased super-natural element. Somehow barnacle-covered fathers are less realistic than sabre-fighting skeletons. Figure that one out!

Much love to all! The picture is an old 1980's view (all I've got) of Land Hill where we excavated in Utah.
