Beef has informed me that "you must live in a parallel world. daylight savings time does not end until the end of october." Frickin Ben Franklin.

I guess Iowa State won. Interesting. Cleaning up the house and packing. Perhaps I’ll get the expense report from two weeks ago finished. Perhaps not. Flight leaves Des Moines at 4:00 PM, then Dallas, then Albuquerque. We get rid of the silly daylight savings time tonight.

Sequestered in my house, I can’t help but hear the roars from Jack TriceStadium miles away or the rowdy college students a few doors down. Despite the distaste I have for American football (especially college football), I am amused that Iowa State may beat Nebraska today. The folks about four doors down have brought their whole living room into the front yard to watch the game and are playing strange drinking games. This is happening 2 miles from where the contest is actually being conducted.

Even though I just provided these notes, I guess I’m kind of a published author. You can actually buy the book.

Here are the authors (click on the image for a closer look)

There’s a bit of magic about this picture. The people on the right were in France when it was taken and the people on the left were in Austin Texas.

Amanda visited yesterday and the day before. Except for this cold that I’m nursing it was great fun… talked about the old days, went to Ledges State Park along
the Des Moines River, and ate at Great Plains.

Leaving for Albuquerque late Sunday afternoon.

Mississippi mission accomplished. Back home.

Looks like I’ll be flying home on Sat. Gulfport -> Houston -> Des Moines. I think I left Rise of Endymion on the airplane with only 20 pages to go, unless I find it in the rental car this morning. Arghhhh.

At the Naval Oceanographic Office inside of NASA’s Stennis Space Center in Mississippi. Back Monday evening or sooner if possible.

Tons of pictures from France at up at a temporary URL here.

Made it back across the Atlantic. Much more and a thousand photos to post later this week.
