Turpentine

Turpentine is harvested from trees. Isn't that cool? Here is a picture of that. I can't get over this, seriously; I always assumed it was just made in a lab or something. Perhaps it is like that, nowadays. But it is fun to think about the natural source.

The image of a "lounge lizard" is equally as enchanting.

It's Thanksgiving. There was a great, fun little dinner in the dining hall with candles on big long tables. Only a few people stayed on campus during the holiday, one or two persons from each house. It has been so quiet and nice. I unfortunately didn't get much work done today, but was able to think about things in the solitude.
