Maybe some kind of pickle/relish/chutney?
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

One of my foodie/canning-crazy friends has been making green tomato & apple chutney. She also is experimenting with green tomato & apple pie.
Rick's making me think PhD thoughts. Bad Rick!
Going bananas waiting for Agent Kate feedback on Sam.
Also, coming down with a cough. And maybe a fever.
So Mister Kitty is in the hospital for the night. I feel good about this. They want to monitor him and get his system all balanced out. They're going to put him on fluids and antibios and keep up with the meds he was on. Tomorrow, more tests (yay$$$) but if like the last time, if we can just get him on the mend...
FIngers crossed.
Now I have to do something about dinner.
Oh, and I missed the FedEx guy. Knew that would happen.
mr. flea does mathematical/computer modeling of complex systems, but he works with built (water distribution network) and natural environments. Clearly environmental systems modeling is not as cool! Though I think the math and programming is a lot alike.
It's the same thing from the scientific perspective! It's just easier going when chatting up new people if your application of those techniques is how cells self-assemble into organisms, or how internet users self-organize into communities, or how neurons know which other neurons to connect to, or why there are traffic jams. Electrical and water distribution systems are more of an acquired taste.
I'm a clinical psychologist who collaborates with math modelers, and they all think it's very unfair that normal people are intrinsically interested in clinical research but not in their more abstract work. They are always telling their students "You need to do a project with Rick, so you will have something to talk about at cocktail parties!"
But this new complex systems stuff is cool enough to interest anyone.

Graduate school is a great place to sit out a recession. Three squares and genteel poverty.
Resist, amych, resist! Or at least wait until you finish the current degree, eh?
