Really really glad I can do all my meetings today on Zoom!

Blue = "travel not recommended"

Red = "road closed"

There were some giant drifts out in the barnyard which the goats were extremely annoyed about climbing over (come on, you're GOATS! You can climb over things!) But I still have power despite all the wind, so yay, work from home day (with kids home too, since the buses aren't running)

One of my meetings is the first PhD committee meeting for a student doing particle physics. I am now frantically googling all the words in the title of her first paper because although I am a professor in a physics department, physics is HUGE and this is WAY outside what I study.

Ok what the hell is a parton... no not Dolly, thanks DDG... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parton_(particle_physics)

Oh a thing with lots of hard math that Feynman proposed. Boy it's going to be a long day.

"Sea quarks"?! Now you're just making stuff up. Quantum mechanics is ridiculous.

@sundogplanets As quark is a type of cheese, maybe there are quantum sea goats involved.
