Joe Kuban : We all crap

LOL ! I am laughing just typing that title. It's been awhile since I shared some of Dr. Kuban's wisdom with you guys and last night he was in rare form. In case you forgot, he is my environmental science teacher and he is a riot -telling it like it is. So, not to gross anyone out and if you start to be grossed out, please skip to the next paragraph. Last night we were talking about energy - and he told us the story of how he defecated in the rain forest [on more than one occasion] - after all, he said, "We all crap." Well, yes we do. Anyway, he continued by telling us he then stood there and watched as 14 species of flies and then beetles, and then so on and so on came and made use of his "deposit" - it took 38 minutes for it to be gone. He seemed to be in shock that none of us had ever done anything similar....and even more disappointed that we have never lit a cow-patty on fire on someones front porch. Anyway, he is fun. He told us another story along the same line that I really don't think is tame enough for the blog, so if you talk to me, you can ask me about it.

I just realized that I have never blogged about my laptop. Hmmmm.....yep, I got a laptop. I have been wanting one forever and the fools at DELL actually gave me a line of credit so after much thought, I bought one. It is really nice. I am not using it for work......yet. But, it does give me some much appreciated mobility which I am really enjoying. I have done the "wireless" thing at the No Frills Grill and it has been a nice way to get out of the house and still be connected. I'm hoping to to get it set up for work in the next 30-60 days so I can play with that and then maybe it will give me some options on work location too, maybe longer stays in Florida with work and vacation combined.

So, now I have an iPod and a laptop....all I need is a convertible VW beetle and my life will be complete.

Ciao

LOL! He does sound like an interesting person, but watching insects devour my poop for thirty-eight minutes would not be that fascinating. Ten minutes tops is all I could stand. ;)

I really like your laptop a lot. Lucky!

Maybe the laptop will mean some extended time in Abilene, too! Hugs!

Only if you figure how I get on your wireless network.
