Unfortunately it is difficult to impossible to work from home when you are a chemist. Sure, you can read the literature and do some writing, but there is only so much you can do. So I am going to have to turn to cooking to get that lab work fix.
Today I made some of Hank Shaw's chili using...
For those of you that don't know, Science is a top tier research journal with few peers (the journals Nature and Cell also have similar impact factors). I am not in this field so I can't offer any technical comments. Due to the pressing need for information I bet the review process was...
It has been widely reported that the Biden campaign was severely strapped for cash heading into Super Tuesday. There were limited field offices in the Super Tuesday states and hardly any Biden ads were being run. I moved to CA last fall and I didn't see a single Biden ad before or since Super...
Here are the bonds for Oxy as of today.
With the news coming out of Saudi Arabia and Russia over the weekend, it sounds like Wyoming is in a strong position for negotiations.
That is fair, but it is a personal preference. I could turn it around and say I would prefer there was grizzlies in the Big Horns so there would be less demand for the elk tags I want. There is a lot of areas in the west that have lots of elk and don't have grizzlies, so it isn't like people are...
Kansasdad, my dad just sent me the picture. My grandma is in the one to the right that is fully in the picture. I will Pm you with the other names my dad gave me. He said this was from either 1936 or 1937 on a summer pack trip they took. My dad sent this picture to my grandma and a picture of me...
One of my favorite parts of Roosevelt's Hunting Trips of a Ranchman was when he talked about hunting grizzlies in the Bighorns. If I remember correctly, he talks about coming over the top, looking down a canyon, and seeing a creek run into the Bighorn basin. The creek isn't named, probably...
sbhooper, glad you were able to escape your situation as well.
Actually, my dad's family is from the Ten Sleep area, having homesteaded in the early days. I forget which, but either my great-grandfather or great, great-grandfather had to testify at the Spring Creek raid trial (he wasn't a part...
"The mind is fickle when you want to believe something, I saw a bear that I'm still kinda sure was a grizz in the bridgers (wasn't)."
Cool picture of that sow!
Wllm1313, I think you are right in that we see what we want to see. My last year in Montana we watched a black bear feed out in the...
When I was going to college in Bozeman, one of my favorite places to go fishing was the Gallatin in the park. There are places with more and bigger fish, but that place just jived with me. In the summer of 2012 people were talking about a grizzly that was hanging around and people needed to be...
I just recently moved away from Madison, WI after living there since 2013. When I first got there, I found out there wasn't much for shooting areas and a lot of the private ranges required meetings and fees that I couldn't justify as a poor graduate student working 80+ hour weeks. One time I did...
If wilderness areas weren't so accessible, why did I have a group of 15 people I didn't know watching me as I played this 20 in. brown on light tippet and a sz 18 BWO?
The next day was just me, the geese, the BWOs and some trout.
I really don't see how American exceptionalism plays a role in this. It isn't that America is portraying themselves as the model example for other countries in this issue but committing the same transgressions at the same rate as other countries. The very point I was trying to make is that we...
There has been a lot of posts linking a lack of religion to this issue. It isn't surprising that this has been brought up so much as America is one of the most religious of the industrialized countries and it sounds like a good, common sense argument. However, I also don't think this argument...
Has anybody been able to talk to somebody at Cory Gardner's offices? Three calls to the Denver and Fort Collins offices have yielded no fruit. I think actually talking to somebody is more productive than an email, so I would like to actually get in touch with somebody.
I haven't had much luck...
My favorite time of the year used to be the middle of May chasing bear season in Montana, but now that I am in Madison for graduate school I can't really do that anymore. I am thinking about maybe trying for turkeys to fill the void.
How is the pressure on public land in SW Wisconsin during...
I have a lot better pictures of the fish and animals, the scenery and friends and family from this year; but nothing quite sums up the summer before graduate school like this picture, taken 10 minutes before my roommate performed minor surgery on me.
