Backcast
Today (Sunday) we are getting the weather that was forecast for Friday. On Friday we had what they had forecast for today (just last night). I guess we could say that, along with the snow, their accuracy is Falling.

Leveling the Green
Replacing the topsoil that was sequestered during construction of the new Learning Resource Center at Feather River College.
In the Spring the Green should be green again.
Follow this link back to the LRC construction thread.

Macabre
This may not be as portable as a chainsaw, but as a Halloween instrument it is equally frightening.

This morning, the FRC Intro to Wildlife class captured a deer and outfitted her with a GPS/VHF collar. (She now has other pretty jewelry too – two ear tags). They are working with the California Department of Fish and Game to learn how to capture, handle, and collar deer in order to investigate how far our campus deer stray from the hay barn. :-J
It was a great experience for students who set up drive nets, waited until a deer wandered into the area, then chased her into the nets where she became temporarily entangled. They ‘mugged’ her (wrestled her down, blindfolded and hobbled her), then took blood samples, body measurements, vital signs, sampled the insects on her body (mostly ticks), collected hair samples, ear-tagged, and collared her. If you see a deer with a big fancy necklace, you’ll know why! Another capture attempt is planned in a couple of weeks.
