Digital record takes the place of a labelled Zip-Loc bag

Floating Island, Utah

When I explore I sometimes collect rock specimens as mementos. Keeping track of which rock
came from which place was a chore until I got the idea of bringing Zip-Loc bags on trips:
put the rock in a bag, write the location on the bag, and it's done! Later it dawned on me
that my camera---with its ultra-cheap "film"---could perform the same chore with less
work. This is the result, taken on the hood of my car. No need for a bag any more.
The note card was thrown away. This little rock now sits on my desk at home.

Better Long Beach than Detroit: no snow, more babes, more sunshine.

Stealing rocks is a federal offense punishable by permanent reassignment to Long Beach.

John, I blame it on frequent exposure to magnetic anomalies. The pursuit of scientific understanding exacts a heavy toll...

Jeez, Dave, you ARE easily amused. I thought I had a lock on that position.
