I HAVE A DATE!!!!!!!!!!!!



yet again... not like that... i have a date to meet with my comitte to officially sign off on my prospectus... its the 28th... it would be next week, but mark (one of my comittee members) has "emergency field work" next week... so yay... now i have this week to add some stuff to it and give it to cb for one more read over this weekend, and then i can give all a final copy :)... yay... he is also coming to look at my cores, i found this odd blue stuff that no one here knows what it is... maybe he will have a clue, i hope so... if not its either going in the mass spec or under a SEM scope so we can figure out what its made of :)... yay for interesting random blue stuff!

VIRGINIA


well i am having a Virginia rocks moment (my home state... and a place much happier than Mississippi).... it could be because i just heard the following song... anyways i thought i would share... its by eddie from ohio... and although i know you can not hear it... the lyrics are quite amusing or so i think... enjoy ...


you think you'll find some mountains
in western colorado
fifty weeks of snowy peaks
is where you're gonna be
but babe the rocky mountains are gradually eroding
the hills of coors are nothing more
than blue ridge wannabes


a turkey on it's belly
a chicken on it's back
anyway you look at it
you'll find her on the map
she revels in the seasons
shakes hands with the north
hugs the land of dixie while dancing on the porch


you think that autumns in new england
are the greatest of them all
but give me sweet virginia for the fireworks of fall
the prettiest october in all the fifty states
just drive up to the skyline
park the car and wait


so grow up colorado
excuse me tennessee
if you don't mind, north caroline
here's where i want to be


when you're talking home

you mean the old dominion
just southeast of heaven to the surf and the hills
she's the best of thirteen sisters
and thirty seven more
sweet sweet virginia always keeps an open door


they're fiddlin' in galax

pickin' up in floyd
and in the land of patsy cline
they're songs you can't avoid
when you're walking back after midnight
i'll fall to pieces, too
i'm crazy back in baby's arms with sweet dreams of you


they're sailing down in norfolk

skiing up in bryce
climbing up the devil's stairs against the ranger's advice
they're harvesting in loudoun to shenandoah winds
and in the land near washington they're rooting for the 'skins
fight for old d.c.


so grow up colorado

excuse me tennesse
if you don't mind, north caroline
here's where i want to be


when you're talking home

you mean the old dominion
just southeast of heaven to the surf and the hills
she's the best of thirteen sisters
and thirty seven more
sweet sweet virginia always keeps an open door


pack up your impala

and make your move out west
past the blue ridge mountains
you'll find you passed the best
and when your dreams have ended
where mountains are concerned
me and sweet virginia will await for your return


when you're talking home

you mean the old dominion
just southeast of heaven to the surf and the hills
she's the best of thirteen sisters
and thirty seven more
sweet sweet virginia always keeps an open doorchorus)
