Stolen: Part of a Life

One full tank of gas to drive home for the holidays: $50.00
Snacks for the drive home: $7.00
Opening my car door after a Thanksgiving Eve church service to see my entire front seat cleared of half my earthly belongings: Priceless.
Laptop. Ipod. Clothes. Sports gear. Three thousand dollars later, I'm standing there staring at my empty truck seat, wondering if it was a joke.
One police report later, I was fairly sure it wasn't.
I lay in my bed last night, trying to picture the scenario. Two guys- wanting a night of fun? Or a kid desperate for money to buy food? I guess I'll never know. Maybe they'll find my Bible mixed in with all that stuff and open it for a bit.
Maybe my journal will fall out, somebody will read it and realize the items belonged to a real person. Maybe they'll return my stuff after a miraculous change of heart.
I can only hope whoever took it really did need it more than I did.


P.S. If a brown teddy bear is spotted walking around looking rather lost, she's probably looking for me.

Experimentation @ Room Temperature

Experiment to document the results of soymilk fermentation at room temperature over an indefinate period of time. No variables were present in the experiment, but that really can't be said because no control was available.
Results:
Crust of milk over goopy tan gooshy stuff.
Globs of alternatingly squishy and hard soy.
A putrid aroma filling the immediate vicinity with its scent.

Experiment concluded to be a mild success.
Experiment dumped down the drain.
New experiment to begin in the near future, probably Wednesday morning at 8.00 am.

Internship, Barbaro, and Bits of Information Probably Not Usable or of Interest to the General Public...

Recently I've been looking for ranches for my internship. I've checked out some in Idaho and Wisconsin, but nothing seems to really stick out to me so far...

Some interesting things to read about pedal osteitis and laminitis on this site...

Acquired a lot of information for term papers and such from that site.

Barbaro Update:

"Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro's right hind leg cast was removed today (Nov. 6), according to his medical team. "Barbaro was placed under general anesthesia for the cast removal," said Dean W. Richardson, DVM, Dipl. ACVS, chief of surgery. 'In addition, his foot was trimmed and a new shoe glued on. A padded bandage with plastic and fiberglass splints was placed on his lower limb for support.'"
