A snowy day with time to think about evolution and Sigma Xi


Fluffy white snow is quietly falling outlining our dark split rail fence. The pasture beyond is covered in a blanket of white with the brown woods beyond. I am in my office enjoying the view.

We have not been able to receive telephone calls for about a day. One can dial out but the phone rings once and hangs up on incoming calls. Fortunately, we have cell phones. Verizon is sending someone between 8:00am and 6:00 pm; that is if they can get through the snow.

This morning my Email contained a note from Sigma Xi, the honorary society for those who author scientific papers. I have been a member for about 30 years. It also lobbies on issues that affect the practice of science and some of the latest efforts are presented on the link below. The URL contains links to articles in American Scientist on topics related to evolution and the intelligent design controversy. It is a good resource.

Nice blog evolutionary. Your posts were interesting reading. I was looking for wine cooling system related information and found your site. I have a wine cooling system site. You'll find everything about wine, gift baskets, Napa Valley wine tours, and how to keep your wine properly chilled until it's ready to drink. Please try and visit it, see what you think.
