Here I am, in rainy, cold CA. Yeah, well I’m not here for the weather. Some highlights so far:
* Seeing Lee’s office at the USGS. Free maps for wrapping paper are available now in the map sales room…
* Stanford Mall. At first I thought “It’s just like Old Orchard”. But, no, Jazmin was right; it makes Old Orchard look like Ford City. Of special note is the grape vine walkway and the italian plaza-styled Ralph Lauren store.
* The bourgeois Stanford students. I thought college was the time to dye your hair green and wear thrift store clothes. Apparently, in Palo Alto, it’s the time to wear designer jeans tucked into $400 suede boots. Awesome.
* Talking with Matt about American education, the legitimacy of cost benefit analyses of moral decisions, and Billy Idol lyrics.
Three more glorious days left…maybe the sun will come out.
