The last research paper I worked on has published at last.

The process is REALLY slow. I finished all my work on this 3 years ago.

This one uses a lot of my histology and in-situ hybridization with RNAscope results.
But no more science for me. Now I build houses and driveways... and rip them apart too! It's a sort of yin-yang thing I've got going here.

A comedic scene from a new Clouseua story I'm fiddling with...

I just came up with this, and imagining Peter Sellers delivering the line had me laughing for 5 minutes straight.
Clouseau, "For you see, the murderer was... the bullet!"
Guy in room, "The bullet?"
Clouseau, "Of course, no one would suspect the bullet of firing itself!"
Woman in room, "But that... that's madness!"

Last call for Bronycon items up on Ebay!

I'll be delisting all remaining MLP items Sept 1st to focus entirely on selling my huge stash of collectible magazines, which take up vastly more space than the MLP items. Everything here fits into a single flat box I can pick up with one hand. The magazines... weigh over 700 lbs total. Sooooo, kinda makes sense to deal with those ASAP!

I have found GOLD in New Jersey! · 3:00am Dec 10th, 2022

In west-central NJ, there is an ancient glacial moraine, so heavily weathered it wasn't even recognized until a relatively short time ago. There are mounds of material rich with pebbles rocks, and even some larger boulders up to 500lbs in places, some dragged all the way from Eastern Canada... some carrying with them bits of veins containing metals!

After carefully studying small meltwater channels and the various jumbled sediments, I found several locations where flecks of gold could be panned out of the washed sediments.

Here's a pic of a recent gold fleck from a steep ravine in the hill, in material very rich with rusted iron, likely a huge mound of decomposed pyrite-rich rock.

There were also crystalline native copper bits, which indicates this is the most mineral-rich zone of the moraine. It's only a matter of time until I find the first little nugget.
