Swimming

Hello again!

Wow, two posts in two days - you must all feel very honoured. Sorry, that should be honored - gotta stick to the local spelling, i guess - "when in Rome..." and all that. Anyway, its still very nice and warm here - but the rain is still hovering around like a bad smell. From what i gather, when its high tide, its all hell breaking loose - the water backs up the drainage etc. but then low tide comes and it all drains away. I reckon that all it would need is a good engineer and a few million dollars to sort it out - but i suspect that it would be too much like hard work for the local government to do it. Either that, or its way too obvious - this is America after all.

Anyway, i'm having a wee break from my stack of papers that i have to read - and from interrogating various people around the lab about their research - all part of the project development process that i'm in the middle of. I'm kind of leaning towards one way at the moment - but truth is that i find pretty much all of what's going on here interesting. Interesting enough to have a whirl of ideas about anyway. My boss said yesterday that if i came up with lots of ideas it would be good. Even if he shot down 9 out of 10 of them, it wouldn't matter. Well, the former isn't a problem at all - but as for the latter - well, let's just say that i think he's got the gun loaded and ready. Wonder if he needs the target practice...
