This morning was another chilly one: in the upper twenties, but it got into the upper sixties by this afternoon. Again it was quiet at the lab today. There are two students from Macao here for six months, Fanda and Domingo and they are working in the lab two days a week now. For those of you who aren't familiar with Macao, it is tiny - only 6 square miles - with a population of a half a million people. It is located near Hong Kong on the Chinese mainland and was a colony of Portugal until 1999. Domingo was sick today so Fanda helped us sort artifacts. We did finish the bag today (yeah!) so tomorrow we will re-sort and label. We had a surprise at lunch today - a couple of the guys downstairs bought two King cakes for Fat Tuesday. We purposely made sure that we did not get the piece with the tiny doll, not that we wouldn't love the one year of good luck, but because the one who gets it must provide the cake next year. We came back to the motel to do a few bills and the blog and will go out to dinner later. The two pictures I put up today are the cool shark tooth I found yesterday - hopefully, you can see the small holes drilled into the top and Flat Stanley. He ran a foot race at the MagLab open house and had his speed checked by radar. He is standing next to his speed which was posted on the board for all to see - he was very proud.
