To Round Out Today's Blogging

My husband's chosen graduate school, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (better known as New Mexico Tech) made Newsweek's list of the 25 Hottest Schools in the August 27th issue. Now you might be thinking that it is hot in terms of temperature (true in the summer) or hot in terms of chili spice (true but variable year-round), but it actually won the stigma of being "Hottest in the War on Terror." I knew there was a reason I didn't like that place! Newsweek calls Socorro a "friendly desert town" (not terribly true), Tech "the Los Alamos of a new age," (I sure hope that's not true), and mentions that the school has "reduced admissions red tape while quietly building one of the prime research centers for fighting the War on Terrah" (emphasis added, veracity unknown). What are they doing with the hydrologists?
