beautiful bills

My days have been busy busy lately so haven't been able to make much art or post many photos... but I see that the internet has survived without my input. Shocking!

Anyway, yesterday I was back at the Laboratory. Cleaning out the old stuff, making way for new stuff. It's really starting to take shape.

Most of the old scientist's stuff is gone now and there is much more space for the new scientist to work in.

There was a surprising amount of personal effects left in the lab and it was very interesting to piece together a picture of the old scientist's life through the objects left behind. I felt like a private eye.

The dear old man has past on and I shan't tell tales about him here except to say he was Greek and I think he was a good guy and a busy scientist.

Yesterday I found a folder full of old Greek money. I've never been to Greece or seen it's money...

It's beautiful old paper through don't ya think?

Misc.

This is the view from my home/office right now (I'm procrastinating).

I think the whole paddle-boat fleet must have been unleashed out there! Nice day for it.


And here are some gems from my lab-clean-up project from yesterday. I spent most of the day clearing out five over-flowing, 4-drawer filing cabinets. So far the oldest thing I've found is a manuscript from 1958. I found a reprint (from 1962) of Francis Crick's paper "The Genetic Code". Yes, THAT Crick. From science class. The double helix guy. Those were the glory days of science.

The cover of this journal will look familiar to most Canadians. CBC's "Gem Logo" came out in 1974.


These journal covers are luscious enough to make me want to do some Liquid Chromatography!


And a friendly reminder from the Feddy Gov (this message was only on sporadic file folders, not all... to keep you in suspense):
