Now into a second week of frigid cold and not much snow. Too cold to take the dogs out for a run… Not enough snow for snowshoeing. We're all going bonkers. Luckily we had some good social time today. Our friends Dan and Sara came by for lunch. Great talks about life and the private parts of spiders. Sarah's longtime mentor, an expert in spiders, passed away recently and we are trying to find a way of creating musical instruments that mimic the mating sounds of spiders for his memorial. Should be cool.

 

Later today we went to our friends Igor and Katherine's…

 

Again it was really nice getting out. We had great discussions, nice food and after dinner science with Stephan and Anna.

Ever see what you can do with a bowl of milk, some food coloring, and a little soap? You put dots of food coloring in the steel pool of milk. And then you let a little of the soap slide down the edge of the bowl. When it hits the milk it destroys the surface tension . This causes that dyes to move around really dynamically. Very cool

 

Ok.. Time for bed.. More tomorrow.

Nite all, nite sam
