The Sky Is Falling
I apologize for negecting this page recently. The pressure to finish a couple papers has consumed much of my time. The highlights of the past week include staring at microfilm for hours and having a bird drop the deuce on me. Apparently when taking a class called "Australian Legal History" you have to go look up things that happened prior to the invention of the internet. Actually, while staring at microfilm does make my eyes hurt/give me a headache if I do it for too long (5 hours or more), it is cool to see some of the art work in the ads of old newspapers.
The bird incident (aka cockapoo) happened this morning on the walk to school. I have actually had two near misses in the time I have been in Australia, so I guess third time was a charm. It seems like the odds of that must be pretty low. Unable to calculate the odds, I thought about the old farside cartoon about how birds see the world. I wondered if the sun reflecting off of my head was an attraction or something.
Back to work.

I am deeply saddened to hear of this. I will avenge you. And by avenge I mean shoot that bird. And by "that bird" I mean a different bird. Possibly a duck. And most likely still here in the states.
It ended up being a grouse. It was delicious.
It is good to know that Oregon is now a safer place to take a walk.
