I saw a doe tonight when I walked out of the administration building. She was lovely. She ran off toward the golf course. My new book on the evolution of horses must have arrived on Friday, it was in my box. It is a great-looking book. I've been slowly collecting plastic figurines of prehistoric animals. I've gotten several dinosaurs, a mammoth, a mosasaur, and even a Dunkleosteus. I am sort of making a wish list of transitional fossils I'd like to have figurines of: Hyracotherium, Tiktaalik, Basilosaurus plus a bunch of cenozoic mammals. A brontotherium would look great on my desk.
Tomorrow is a fun school day. Last day of bones for Anatomy--the pelvis and lower extremities. I set up a mini-practical for them tonight. Thirty questions--they'll take it individually and then with their groups. They'll be happy about the group quiz. My super-pokey non-majors section starts on mutations at 1 in the afternoon. One of my favorite subjects, I hope they enjoy it.
Susan is taking tomorrow off to work on Paul's house some more. Last week someone broke into Paul's house and burgled the place. Susan called the police. They were very understanding. One mentioned after he met Basil that he had been bitten by dogs more than a dozen times. Basil was a perfect gentleman. Gladys, Paul's neighbor, had some medication stolen around the same time while she attended a funeral. She knows who did it but apparently it is dangerous to snitch in that neighborhood.
I've got to set my alarm. Six-thirty comes pretty early. Monday mornings suck! I hope I won't have an 8 AM class next semester. May all your bases be paired.
