Death of a Garden Eater

The "dad signal" went up and my wife was shouting about something, and when I asked her what was going on, she had her bug fighting stick, which she says is just to push the plants aside, but I know a bug fighting stick when I see one! She said there was a small rabbit in her garden laying dead on its side by her spinach. I'm the only one who grows spinach, so I told her I didn't want to deal with the dead rabbit. Then I got that look. Because of course I'm supposed to be the one to go deal with it. But then she cracked me up by telling me we should send in a probe! Suddenly I was in a Star Trek episode. I told her to grab a bag and I went and got a stick. I found the rabbit laying next to her carrots, aka, spinach. So I fished it out with the stick and then put it in the bag to put in the garbage. Yay dad!

However, by the time I was done, my interest in technology, from over 10 years as an IT professional, was thoroughly peaked! Definitely off the "beaten path," in a spruce bog in Northern Minnesota, this site boasts an incredible array of scientific equipment that is supported by an amazing technological infrastructure! There are control sites and some of the chambers have added heat, carbon dioxide, or both. A lot of equipment and experimental testing goes on 24/7, 365 days per year. These guys know their stuff. The 10 chambers are connected ...
