I'm leaving forever
This time tomorrow I'll be at Heathrow, away from the internet for the longest sustained period in about 3 years. I'm off to the forests of southern Madagascar where I'll be digging holes for hedgehogs to fall into, and then counting them. Also, lemurs and bats and chameleons and whatnot.

See you in March.

For my Cultural Geography class this past semester I took an imaginary 10-day trip to Madagascar; semester-long writing assignment...completed in the final 4 days before due...and it still ended up as Teacher's Favorite for the semester .

Heathrow is spelled that way.

Can you really claim to never have heard of the largest airport in Britain?

In 1916 the forces of the crown
To take the orange white and green bombarded Dublin town
But in 21 Britannia's sons were forced to earn their pay
And the black and tans like lightning ran from the rifles of the IRA...

I might be able to type after 4, but it would take forever.

Haven't had that many since last spring break. A good friend wanted to get my mind off her while she was out of town.

Do you let them back out when you're done? Or is counting them a way of tallying your kills?

I hope no hedgehogs are injured in the execution of your activities.

Have fun.
