Life is hard. As hinted at by John in a previous post, he, myself, and Graeme are currently residing in Santa Barbara, taking part in the Paleobiology Database summer course. So far, we've been confused by the philosophy of statistics, and befuddled by the basics of programming. Tomorrow, we will blunder headlong into the quagmire of geometric morphometrics.
Anyway, today was a day off, and, amongst other things, we went to have a look at the Santa Barbara mission (as Saint Barbara is the patron saint of geologists, it's of course very appropriate that we're here). Here's a photo of the three of us outside of said mission, with the Santa Ynez mountains in the background.
As I say, life is hard.
Right then, must be off. I dare say either John or I will put in an update when something exciting happens.
P.S. We saw a skunk the other day!

If any of you want further evidence of just how difficult life here really is, you can see photographic evidence of it here.
