handling a plastic vile containing some phosphate derivative, some chemical gone bad. Transmitting something through the vile, the chemical caused her hand to go numb. She walked around campus with a flaccid hand for half a day until the feeling finally returned.
The reason for mentioning all this is that I visited my sister a few weekends ago. I had never been to Georgia, the college, but I had passed through Georgia, the state, on family vacations a few times. The college is situated in Athens, in the northeast corner of the state.
Dianne showed me around campus and around her lab which has more glassware than Coming could warehouse. She also showed me where Jules and Iann work in the lab. Every science lab should have at least one Jules. To add an Iann to the lab staff just doubles the credibilty of the place.
Otherwise, Athens is a typical college town, I suppose:
The place has more fast-food joints than full-time residents.
The police don’t look for trouble, fearing they might just find it.
And it seems that every store sells something carrying the school’s insignia.
That part of the trip was fun.
What I didn’t like about the trip, was Georgia, the state and environment thereof.
It’s too hot — the barometric pressure, measured in inches everywhere else on this planet, is measured in feet in Georgia.
Athens may not be the hottest place on the face of this earth but whoever invented the hottest place surely used the Peach State as a role model.
