3/24/07 PSSC Meeting

Hey yaalllllll!  Sorry for the retarded topic title.  (Mod edit: I fixed it) Don't know why that happened but it's probably Paul's fault.  I know I'm late but I've been so busy and I've got so many pictures I've wanted to share.  We left for our vacation to Hawaii the day after the last PSSC meeting and I almost forgot to post my pictures.  Here's a few just for the fun of it.

Paul, Kim and myself carpooled to conserve gas.

There's been some recent discussion about this tree lately on the forum:  Mindanao Gum tree (Eucalyptus deglupta).

Lunch was fun.  BS, Paul, Scott, (Matt's burrito), Kim, Peter.

Danny Lewis is an enigma.  I can never get my camera to focus on him.  I think he's an alien.  Look how fast he can move his hands.

Yeah I think Danny is an alien. I think I may have pics of him from Mexico or when I was in Cali last July.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

No pics of the Palm Grower verses Bamboo grower brawl that happened later that day? I heard it was "Anchorman - Ron Burgundy" sytle and Paul killed a guy with a trident.

Tridents don't kill people, mustached maniacs with tridents kill people.
