stormdogI really wish I had more time to edit and post pictures. But here's one before I dash off to school.
Visiting the lab and meeting a Flickr friend for the first time, were great! I'll try and write about it more later.

It's been a while since I've had time for Flickr. School is eating my brain, and I feel a little bad about that.
I've realized lately that I like pictures that humanize things that it may be hard to feel a connection to. Here, on various equipment sitting on a rack, are a collection of repair tags. They have information about what fault is occurring in the piece and often a note from the person who completed the repair.
This made me think of all the people who put time and effort into keeping the bones of high-tech experiments running. Though endless rooms and corridors of machinery may appear cold or distant, for everything that exists at Argonne and other labs, the dedication and energy of people are behind it.
