Just so's y'all know

Hey, I don't want to step on my post of last night, which was number two in a (probably) three-part series of life in the archives. And I am really enjoying reading everyone's comments on both posts, telling about their own experiences. But I just wanted to break in for a moment to post that Fabulous (ex-)neighbor is arriving today for a weekend visit. She's popping in from *her* Exotic Research City to tour around with me. I really am feeling like I've gotten a bit lax about the archives, especially since I blew them off to spend yesterday at a semi-exclusive viewing at a archaeological lab where a team was meticulously analyzing the temporarily disinterred body of a high medieval monarch of my passing acquaintance. But some things - a dead monarch, a live friend -- are worth taking it easy for a few days.

Part 3 on Monday. Have a good weekend, y'all!

Are they gonna try to sequence the monarch's genome? That would be fucking coolio!

Yeah--where are your digital photos of THAT little field trip? Sounds groovy.

Hi all!

I do have one photo, a poor one taken of a live video image of the work on the Monarch going on in the next room. But I don't think I was supposed to, and I'm sure as hell not allowed to post it. Wish I could, though.

And CPP, they *are* doing some genetic work, mainly to determine whether x or y were descendants. It's nifty.

Also, Monarch's feet were OFF.
