I am back from the field and head back to seattle on the 16th of september. I don't have the internet connection to check everyone's bloggs so I hope everyone is well. The field was wonderful. we managed to shipwreck a tank and had a few small bear incidents but otherwise the science was good. Getting back I found out that both my parents had been in the er while I was gone but are recovering. My mom had a reaction to her meds and my dad got bitten by a big rattlesnake. All the other martin news is good. Love to all!
