I found out today that Molly Ivins died this week. And a group of whooping crane that had migrated on their own to Florida were killed in the storms last night. (They're almost extinct, you know.) They had been put into pens in the night and apparently drowned. God, what an awful way to go.
I had dreams last night about a Nazi-like group that had taken over. The war was over and food was scarce, and they came to our farmhouse to take what little was left. But we got some revenge by claiming they had caught an allergy and would have to kill their little girl. Um, sort of hard to explain. Before that and related was a series of dreams about hitmen and sexual predators. But before that was a wonderful dream where I was passing through a campus where I had had a campus visit and they were excited to see me and apparently still hadn't made a decision. They talked to me about my ideas and seemed excited about them. I so rarely get people who are genuinely interested in my research ideas and think they're stimulating. (Wistful sigh.)
