1991 (with Ray Cressie, Noel’s father). The hottest summer I have ever spent. The Canberra folks say “it’s a dry heat”. We Texas folks say: “darn, it’s hot”. The long sleves are because of the solar radiation

Yellowstone river, ca 1996Re teaching: “Never try to teach a pig how to sing: it wastes your time, and annoys the pig” (DR). Most assistant professors should take this advice to heart and quit torturing students.
