Back in Toronto

Warning sign at SLAC

Above: I love the fact that I visited a place where I needed a GERT and Dosimeter for entry.

Jeff and I are back home. We had a momentary panic at the airport when we were told that our main checked bag came in over the weight limit (due more to stuff we were taking home for people rather than souvenirs :-), but Jeff redistributed the contents of our bags and the rest of our trip home went smoothly. Thanks to Walter for picking us up at the airport!

One of my favourite signs at SLAC

I have a ton of e-mail to catch up on, so if you have something urgent that needs answering sooner than later, please do put "URGENT" in the subject header.

Today's photos: some of the signs at the Stanford National Accelerator Laboratory. Looking into the heart of an accelerator was one of the highlights of our California trip. Many thanks to my father-in-law and his friend for making the special visit possible! Bonus highlight: We had lunch in the SLAC cafeteria, and Martin Perl was at the next table. Perl won a Nobel Prize in 1995 for the discovery of the tau lepton.
