Today... was busy. Monday, at the work site in Rio Tinto. I dropped off laundry, including shirts of

sarahh's and

dawnd's that had been steeping in the ph=2 water since last Tuesday. And spent today doing spectral scans of rock cores, pyrite from about 80m down. And surprised

geekchick with a phone call :).

This evening, I was in the taberna inglesia at 2am, the only English-speaking person there... loud and noisy, and I called Nancy... we talked, she remarked that it was surreal to be chatting with me in a small-town Spanish bar, drinking Cuban rum at 2am. "Your life reminds me of Hemingway" she said. "Um... I hope not!" I replied. Interesting, sure... this has been a good couple of years, with fun work and travel opportunities.

Here are the shirts, weighed down with rocks to keep them submerged in the blood-red water of the Rio Tinto headwaters... note the yellow crystallline sulfur at the water's edges.

And here's my work area, scanning cores in a small storage room in the mining museum ;).

Yep, nightshirt. Same one I wore the night we arrived in Nerva. ;^) I folded it in such a way that, with a deep color, it should have had chevrons on the front. With a lighter color, that might not show well. Sounds like it came out more or less like I'd intended, though. Cool! Are there any special laundering tips at this point?

Ah. That night, with all four of us in one room... ;).

Facing the shirt, there are two big chevrons on the right side, almost like arrowheads, with narrow darker triangles at the center neckline and base... hopefully that's what you wanted :).

(nods) Well, that's not quite what I'd envisioned, but not far off of what I'd expected, if you see what I mean. And of course, with tie-dye, however it comes out is exactly how you'd meant it to! ;^)
