#1 - OUCH!!!  Atomic holocaust averted thanks to Lt Col Stanislav Petrov, who will be in my prayers tonight for following his gut!

Incidentally, made it back home safely from vacationing.  Had all three kids with me on the final leg of the flight while the wife was way up front in the airplane.  Thank goodness they were very well behaved or dad might have had a seizure!

Cool article Smiley

'Twas a very enjoyable trip, thanks! Smiley  Got an opportunity to do some lab-commissioned artwork for a scientific review article we're putting together.  The Pathogenic Armaments of Uropathogenic Escherichia Coli (I know, sounds boring).  Fun project, though, and a potential segue into doing graphic design, if it all works out.

Here's the beginning of one figure.  It's an Escherichia coli with a double cutaway over a field of bladder cells.  It's all vector, and done in Photoshop.
