Mummy hair reveals drinking habits
From discovery.com: Mummy Hair Reveals Drinking Habits.

Mummy hair has revealed the first direct evidence of alcohol consumption in ancient populations, according to new forensic research.

The study, still in its preliminary stage, examined hair samples from spontaneously mummified remains discovered in one of the most arid regions of the world, the Atacama Desert of northern Chile and southern Peru.

The research was presented at the 5th World Congress on Mummy Studies in Turin, Italy, this month (continue reading)

Yeah. I'm a weirdo. It's raining and I'm grumpy. I have to go to the bank and meet my sister for lunch at noon. I want to crawl under the covers and sleep.

The daughter has her first swim meet tomorrow. We are going to go down and watch her. I'll try to get some photos to share with everyone.

I have to rip out a few rows on the colorwork socks. I was watching ER last night while working on it and one row is all wonky. *grumble* I have been trying to figure out what to make with the recycled silk yarn that my secret pal sent me. *waves at secret pal* I don't know what I want to do. I found a fisherman's rib scarf and tried that but because of the nature of the yarn its hard to find the "stitch below" Anyone have any ideas on what to use this yarn for?? Please share if you do.
