Frosted Mini-Wheats

I like it.

I have my own desk for the first time in my working life. I have my own computer. I’m going to have a set of lab coats with my name embroidered on them. And best of all, I won't be working on campus when then students come back this fall.

I’m a public health biologist and I like it.

I remember reading about how in certain parts of Asia and in Macedonia, people use cormorants to catch fish.

The fisherman uses a ring or tie on the bird's neck so it won't be able to swallow the fish it catches.

Every seventh fish the fisherman has to give to the cormorant or else the bird will stop fishing.

And if I remember correctly, after a few years, the cormorant won't fish for the fisherman any more.

The cormorant would rather starve than lose all but the seventh fish.

Except maybe that last part isn't true.
