3/15/2010
Today we started our 6th FFP on Baobabs. We drove for an hour to get to a small reserve, then had a lecture from our guest academic Sarah Venter. She also gave us some of her cosmetic oil from Baobab seeds which will soon be used in high end cosmetics (oooo). Then we went into the field to take surveys of Baobabs: fruit counts, flower counts, aborted flower counts, disease percentage and amount of bark stripped. We did this for 6 trees all together, and then had lunch and split into three groups. Each group did another 6 trees, and then we met to go back. We stopped at the store quickly, and then headed back to camp. This afternoon I took a nap, and it was wonderful. We had a relaxing night, minus me having a meeting with David for my History and Culture paper. It went well, and I have a lot of good ideas.

The Joke
It's a frickin' elephant
A class of five-year old students are learning to read.
One of them pointed at a picture in a zoo book and said,
"Look at this! It's a frickin' elephant!"
The teacher took a deep breath, then asked... "What did you call it?"
"It's a frickin' elephant! It says so on the picture!"
And so it does...
