We left Palmerston North yesterday, on a lovely blue morning, heading for Auckland and yet more physics for Frank.
I don’t really have much to say about this photo except that the gentle tranquility of this landscape was something I thought you’d like seeing.

I thought you might enjoy this: http://www.funnytheworld.com/2008/Jan/18.htm
BTW, years ago, when dinosaurs walked the earth, I worked as a secretary in the Physics Department of UC Berkeley, and my claim to fame was doing typing for Owen Chamberlain and Emelio Segre.

I did really enjoy that funnytheworld.com post, thanks!
I was fascinated to read about Chamberlain’s work with the TPC (Time Projection Chamber.) What a great name that is! One of my big complaints about modern physics is that they ought to hire a few poets to help them name their stuff. (Though I think Frank did well with “axion” and “anyon”.)
But maybe I should devote a blogpost to that little rant instead of sticking it down here in a comment.
