OK, So we're all on the same page

I finally decided it WOULD save me time to just blog about my Alaska Adventure. In a bit I will find out how you actually send this link to people.

I thought today was funny - as I came to school in my pajamas (well my pajama pants as a 'base layer' beneath my pants as the pants are synthetic dress pants). I might get my actual first pairs of thermal undies soon. So that was goofy enough - but on the way to my office I remembered... that I could sort of get a 'free lunch' by going to the student center for the salmon taste-testing.

Apparently someone is doing research (academic etc. IRB approval and everything) that will go back to the industry. The intent is to research making canned pink salmon richer in Omega 3s. So far the ones that I think are the control group taste much better as the method apparently to enrich the fish is to can it in Salmon oil (food grade salmon oil... which made me a little disturbed to wonder what non-food-grade salmon oil would be).

SO... if you haven't gathered it so far. This will be my 'blog' of my experiences up here in Fairbanks. I might post some older messages I had on various emails for the benefits of folks who didn't hear those stories.
