Well excuse me, princess.

Tamara and I went out to check out the new Aldi up on university yesterday and were almost run off the road!

We were in the left lane of Main St., not far from where it meets up with US 130/150 when a large white van turned left out of one of the subdivisions--literally into the space that our car was about to occupy. What's more, as I swerved into the right lane honking emphatically, the van changed lanes too! They nearly drove into our front end not once, but twice.

In lab news, we finally got one of the MBE chambers connected to the transfer tube in the middle of last week. We think we managed to repair the leaky high-voltage feedthrough on one of the tube ion pumps. We have received the funding to go ahead and install liquid nitrogen lines to our lab. And we've started discussing thesis topics with Jim, which is good considering that three of us need to take our prelim exams this semester.

Here's the company we're going with,

Don't know if they'd be willing to just set it up for you to have 'on tap', but maybe you can convince Booth that he needs it to cool the Turing cluster.
