My first job was mopping the floor in my Dad's grocery.

Since then, the work has been much less demanding.

This one's a bit small still, but I'll let you know when it starts its Ivy League education in a few weeks.

Great pic!


Are those individual cells?

The cluster in the middle is a lot of cells, not just one. The projections coming out of the cluster are neurites--long projections that could develop into axons and dendrites, which are the very thin elongations of neuronal cells that serve as the chemical communication "wires" of the nervous system. Just as a network of many small computers has a much greater capacity compared to a single large one, it is the interconnection of millions of nerve cells that make you wicked smart.

I wish I could be there tc. You could tell me all about drilling holes and I could tell you all about crushing big rocks into little ones and if things got boring, we'd still have beer.

Well after slowly making a grinder and a forge this year, I still have a lot to learn about drilling holes. I already have learned that a Shopsmith is not the ideal tool for drilling them.
We'll be fine with the beer though.
