Of course the word chaos is used in rather a vague sense by a lot of writers, but in physics it means a particular phenomenon, namely that in a nonlinear system the outcome is often indefinitely, arbitrarily sensitive to tiny changes in the initial condition.

PLACE: Fermilab
SUBJECT: Photowalk
I almost didn't go. I knew this was a photographer's event, not a science geek event, and I align much closer with the latter. With the exception of a handful of science geek photographers, I was right. Fortunately, there was no judgment. I was treated with the same respect as those with professional quality dSLRs, tripods and camera bags filled with multiple lenses.
I'm glad I went.

Ahhh Friday ... the end of one set of responsibilities and the beginning of another set of responsibilities.

It is better for you to be free of fear lying upon a pallet,
than to have a golden couch and a rich table and be full of trouble.

PLACE: Cubicle Hell
SUBJECT: Pallet
Most everything we make ships out on pallets, and we keep oodles of them out by the warehouses!

All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning. Great works are often born on a street corner or in a restaurant's revolving door.
~ Albert Camus
TIME: 6:30 PM
PLACE: Podunk Illinois
SUBJECT: Corner
In Podunk, and in Podunks across the country, there are often landmarks that break of the otherwise nondescript landscape. Alan's corner is one of two Podunk Landmarks. A towing service, a garage, and a restaurant with some of he best food but only 20 seats (think greasy spoon) all hang out on Allen's Corner - a crossroads between I-90 and the outskirts of Podunk.

If every day is an awakening, you will never grow old. You will just keep growing.

SUBJECT: Awakening
I always feel like I'm "cheating" when I take photos at the Forest Preserve, but there is always some new plant awakening every time I go!

“It is curious - curious that physical courage should be so common in the world, and moral courage so rare”

SUBJECT: Physical
Cam had his freshman physical today. He is relatively healthy ... with the exception of a bunion (what kid gets bunions?) and an extreme aversion to having his finger pricked.

“If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.”
~ Henry David Thoreau
TIME: 11:15 AM
PLACE: Home Sweet Home
SUBJECT: Drummer
Cam marched in his first parade today. I must admit, I never expected to see one of these in the back of my car, but I think my different drummer may have finally found a way to step to the music which he hears.
