Cute Little Totoro

Friday I went out with my field methods class, and we studied the stratigraphy of St. Louis. Basically, that means we drove along the highway and stopped at those places where you can see rock. I don't know if you look at those a lot, but next time you're out driving and see one, think about what it would be like to be standing by those rocks in a pouring drizzle, looking at them. Just think about it. Looking at highway outcrop after highway outcrop of flatlying limestone, dolomite (like limestone, only not), and sandstone. The most interesting outcrop wasn't even on a wall, it formed the bottom of a dranage ditch that went along the side of the highway. That means that we literally went and looked at rocks in a gutter.

Good times.

In other news, one of the kitties at home, Annie, is blind in one eye. The lens has fallen forward. I don't know what that means, but it sounds gross, but it doesn't look like she's in any pain. Poor kitty, though.
