About Me

I dig square holes for a living - how interesting can that be? Actually, the larger the square holes get the more interesting it can be... Until you have to have a meeting about your square holes and what they mean.

My Interests

Bones. Animals. Animal Bones. Animal Welfare. Sustainable Living
Forensics (the American kind, not what the Brits mean when they use the term)
Music
the general state of dysfunction among human populations
Evolution

I'd like to meet:

Joe Bob Briggs
A gardener
Someone who can tell me how to get rid of all those stupid ass drop down menus in my profile fields so that I can escape the static classification realm.

"For in the end we will conserve only what we love.
We will love only what we understand.
We will understand only what we are taught."

"The world's insane
while you drink champagne
And I'm living in black rain
Don't you hear the guns
You stupid dumb dicksucking bum politicians?"
