There’s that funny fairtrade feeling in the air

I must admit, he and I really enjoyed those kisses. Cute boy, but damn, I don’t remember his name for the life of me….Occupational hazard.
Yes, because I can totally sew my own socks and scarves and make sure they match with my kitchen decor…Move over Martha!
Oops, I lost my pants, but at least I got my organic cotton undies.
Have to admit, I look funny in this picture, but I love the Baker Boy cap.
My ears aren’t pierced! How come it looks like I have a hole in my ear? Fairtrade earrings from India
I call this: The Narcissus. Silk-cotton hi-neck shirt.
I know you can’t tell, but we were in a HUGE castle in Durham and it was DAMN cold.Correlation of the invasive Phragmites to roads & road type in Akwesasne

I’m breaking this down old school style and whipping out the G.I.S. I was tra-la-la-ing on my old laptop for my Amboseli National Park report and along came my research on the invasive Phragmites (common reed). This was one of the first statistical correlations done to support the theory that invasive species are spread by anthropogenic influences (i.e. road building). I hadn’t gotten a chance to get this published, but I do believe my friend used it in his thesis. This really brings back memories out in the field and GPSing this mother f*%ing invasive haplotype. (The Common Reed is native to the U.S., but DNA evidence shows that there is an invasive haplotype from Europe that has invaded the U.S. probably by way of the St. Lawrence Seaway). Why does it all matter? Well, it’s your tax dollars baby – this stuff clogs waterways and strangles native fish and bird habitat.I tried to do a larger correlation outside of the Mohawk Reservation, but unfortunately (like most G.I.S. information), the information wasn’t detailed enough. I loved G.I.S. – it kinda gave me the same feeling that I imagine He-Man had when he held his sword up to the lightning, “I HAVE THE POWER!” Unfortunately, being 2 years removed from the technology does not serve one well; I’m not sure I remember much from those days….but oooooohhh how I miss it.
