We were well-rewarded for the time spent taking care of cats for the last couple of weeks - Patrick & Elena brought back some excellent Austrian chocolate for us.
This week we managed to get moved into the new place with the help of the awesome histotechnology lab manager and her shiny new truck. Don't forget that's a queen-sized bed in the back...
For the first time, we were able to stack up all our beer and brewing equipment in one place.... Turns out we've made and acquired quite a bit.
The bike ride to work is now pretty fast - only about 0.5km shorter than before, but a decent part is straight downhill. It's nice to pass sheep, llamas, alpacas and cattle every day, not to mention large areas of poison oak, which I won't investigate too closely.
In other randomness, we were looking at some turkey vultures the other day - apparently if you stay too still while sunbathing they get a bit interested.... I love the idea that different countries have different sunbathing hazards. In NZ, it's melanoma, here it's vultures.
The "Crime Watch" page for the Corvallis Gazette Times is also pretty good for light entertainment, especially when you see what passes for crime in this town.
- Saturday 27th June: TRANSIENT SLEEPING ON PORCH: 7:14 p.m., Law Enforcement Center, 221 N.W. Sixth Street. A nearby resident approached a deputy and asked if he could tell a man sleeping on her porch to leave. The man, a local transient, left.
