Hello from Austin TX.. home of one of the largest under bridge living  bat colony.
I just spent several hours trying to repair a piece of equipment I was planning to borrow for some of my talks down here.. only to find that it was too far gone to  repair on the road.   No worries though .. I enjoyed hanging out with the pieces owner Carl.. He’s big time into doing science outreach with kids as well.. so the time we spent was good time. I didn’t really need the device in my talk anyway..

I’m excited and also nervous about the talks.. all three of them. When I have the jitters like this I keep wondering why I agree to do this kind of thing. Public speaking is so scary to me.. I just hope the message I’m bringign resonates..

I’ll let you know.if it does.. (I think it will) . wish me luck

nite all, note sam
