I could tell (e:terry) didn't quite believe me that seeing bears is a pretty common thing at home. There was a bear cub hanging around my former house at home this morning. A neighbor posted these on fb and I stole them since I couldn't share them on fb. Someone commented, "yeah that same one was way up by my house yesterday around 3"

Terry won a cup stacking game as part of the buffalo science museum beerology fundraiser. This is a very fun event. I was surprised we didn't see anyone we knew... well, someone recognized me and handed me four unused drink tickets, and some stranger handed us an additional two drink tickets... Did I mention it was fun? We heard Peter Jablonski talk about the history of breweries in Buffalo. We looked at several science museum exhibits. As a former DC-area resident, I perceived it as more like a museum of old museum exhibits than a serious museum. At the same time, the WNY exhibits were kinda cool, and Stuffy the bison was very cute. Snowshoe rabbits... not so much. Chruscikis are yum, the pizza was gross. K Sisters Pierogi - yum.

Is so tedious. I want to take it with me already but it has to be able to do anything I need while I'm out & about. So far I like it a lot. It's so light! I wish it had an external volume control (standard on toshibas).

We're not learning much but listening to green wash is interesting and giggle-inducing.

I'm at the cornell law school fracking conference with my friend hannah. We're laughing at the industry hacks. They sound like idiots in comparison to the academics with their nuances and complex understanding. Maybe we'll go to ithaca beer company to celebrate our hippieness with some flower power.
