Another in a long series of soggy days in the northeast
And another lousy picture to document it. It's little wonder I'm behind with my posts here with such lousy pictures to put up. Blah...
On days like this I like go to Pittsfield for the high speed internet access I don't have this season in Red Rock, hang out at Barnes & Noble, and generally just goof off.

One's brain is powerfully activated by learning that there are only 30,000 genes in the human genome. That is only twice as many as in the fruit fly, not renowned for its calculating ability, and about as many as a garden weed. Geneticists are sorely vexed that so few genes are required to make something as complex and clever as a geneticist.
