Joint Meetings 2009 — Day 4
Sorry for not posting yesterday, but I was sort of run-down. I”m taking today as a break before I join Knots in Washington tomorrow, already in progress. Anyhow, the last day of the Joint Meetings is always slow, and there’s nothing much for me to talk about here. Instead, I’ll put up some pictures.

Definitely click this last one to embiggen, and see all the neat patters in the metalwork.
