Iowa City’s hip factor is off the charts as evidenced from the fact that we can now buy vegan cheese from multiple places. This is really good. NB - technically it’s from Coralville, the New Pi store there had half a dozen choices of Rebel Cheese, I’ll give them all a try.

What scares me is: 1) the size of the department - it is not small by my standards, 14-16 faculty members depending how you count, includes meteorology; 2) the fact that the state requires geologists to be licensed; 3) geology alumni tend to be very active and generous (as the thread makes clear).

The house feels a bit like an old folk home nowdays. Pippo (L) is 19, on hyperthyroidism meds, we got him as a kitten when our 2nd kid was born. Gilda (R) is 14, bad joint pain and vestibular disease, soft cone on b/c a benign tumor was chafing against the harness to help her up and down the stairs.

💯 this - I went to look at the front page online for this very reason before reading this post, and this is what it shows, with the California artillery shooting over Interstate 5 second.
