Ok, this is really off topic, but I have just noticed that the order of the contributors in the side bar isn’t fixed. Is there some pattern/logi to it (like Julianne is on top now and has the last comment) or is it random?

I used to go to summer camp in Michigan every year (Albion College Summer Adventure, in case there are any alums out there), and I have vague memories of going there on a field trip. I’d totally forgotten about it until you mentioned it!

Also, banerjee — I have enormous sympathy for the many people who are forced to chose between staying in their homeland and spending years studying/working abroad, particularly in the sciences. And yes, it’s often the small differences that drive home how far one is from home.

I like bears & I like Einstein…but NOT a bear who looks like Einstein! What next? A cat that looks like Sch\”odinger?

Christmas tree ornaments are totally alien to me. However, these things probably mean a lot to many people as the two posts on the topic indicate. The fact these objects actually have emotional content reminded me of the many small things of similar emotional content that many people sacrifice for the privilege of working in Western countries.
