Returned to lab to take vaginal smears. Today seemed cooler than
yesterday, although hygrometers indicated temps were some
(mid 80's). Spent the afternoon with Ward Allison - 70 year old
man from Pebbly Beach who brought me his supposed Rattus to
examine - turned out to be Rattus rattus ! Anyway, he was a
neat old man. Worked some on the computer with Julie.
