I’m in Lubbock, TX tonight. Laurie has a poster of her thesis in the Southwest Local Algebra Meeting (SLAM) held this year at Texas Tech University. We drove down with Professor Vassilev and 3 other graduate students from UNM this morning, and will drive back tomorrow afternoon.  We got back fairly late from a reception tonight, so I’m only posting photos from one of the lectures and of a blackbird that was digging around in the grass with its beak.
