Work out

I have been working out everyday in the gym for almost four month. And I can see that my body is changing, muscles are building up. Feel so good I am not that thin guy any more. I am proud of myself for keeping on doing this for such a long time. I guess I am propelled by noticing the changes and by testing myself of my endurance. I will keep on working out and see how it goes. And since I am doing a pretty good job of working out. It is probably a good time to go a little bit further. I will search web for some professional suggestions and try to do it like a pro.

Finally, I am about to submit my first paper after 3 and a half years work. A bit  slow, but that is learning process. I will be a good sedimentologist. Hope it wont get rejected.

Belkman apartment

I have beening staying here for about half a year. Not many people live in this community, or acutally very few. The front yard is private to us to some degree and the view can be beautiful.  

Saltgrass steak house

We stayed at Amerillo for the night. Chris suggested Saltgrass for dinner.  They are known for good steaks. I saw a couple of cowboys in the restaurant, wearing that special hats and boots. The T-bone was really good, may be the best steak I have ever had.

I woke up early in the morning to get ready for leaving for Houston. It was freezing cold outside. However, the sunrise tightly grasps my heart.

Last Chance Delta trip with Mark and Chris

Image
Mark took us to the Last Chance Delta where he did his Ph.D. study.  It took a while to hike up there. But he showed us a spectacular compund Valley fill. We took four Gigapan photo panels out of it. I am glad that Mark said he will put us as co-auther for his paper. He also showed us great example of landward pinching out of shoreface deposits which graded into coastal plain lagoonal facies. Three landward stepping shorefaces paraseqeunces indicate stepped transgression. Petroglyphs are interesting and funny, some are hilarious.
