January 30, 2007

In the field. These are two of my Team Members, Mary and Allen. We're sampling soils in a small town adjacent to an old smelter (which is being decommissioned). It's overcast again and supposed to rain this afternoon (it was sleeting when I got up this morning). We've gotta work fast!


Bonus picture: I'm the Eskimo in forty-five layers of clothing. Seriously, I've got on rain pants over my coveralls, under which I am wearing long underwear. Makes bending down (and using the bathroom!), kind of an adventure.
