Happy new year from the European continent, where I think all countries (except maybe Iceland) have transitioned into 2014 and it seems so far everything is ok.

Best wishes to all great people here around the world, who share a passion for science.

well, think of real people as PFers, only undercover. :biggrin:I personally think that I am the one who's having problems observing and judging people around me. This is something I'm still working on. It is not easy to be bias-free, and not generalize.

Lots of people have problems with "judging", and I am certainly not blame-free.

My closest nephew is a lifer in the Navy and he married another Navy lifer who had a daughter from another marriage, both of whom are black and exceptionally pretty. Some parts of Maine are quite racist due to a lack of experience and due to general ignorance, but thanks to my nephew's training and physique (think Mike Tyson) people keep their mouths shut around him.

I hope everybody had a nice 2013, and can count on some nice things that happened to you. My nicest event was the adoption of our second rescue dog, Lola. Lola is a pit-bull, and she loves everybody. She just wants to kiss and cuddle. The repairman from our ISP showed up the other day, and asked if the dogs were dangerous and I told him "Not unless you are allergic to dog-spit."

Several people want to steal her. It would be really easy. Just pull in with a vehicle and leave a door open, and she'll Jump right in "I want a ride!"
