Indy

Went to the big city today and met with our clients, the Department of Homeland Security. We learned about all the politics involved and money issues of why what we're doing can help them out so much (did i mention that they're not having to pay for our work, the National Science Foundation is sponsoring our project). The importance of a courthouse security assessment tool (sorry big words) was fresh on their minds because a judge in Reno got shot through his office window today. At the moment they don't have any way of telling if the courthouse is safe unless an outside professional is hired, which can be expensive. It all comes down to money (doesn't everything?) but they are wanting a product asap. Anyway, enough about boring stuff... the city was cool (no i didn't take this picture). It was kind of a last minute trip. Thursday we head to Chicago to meet with the head forensic engineer at _____ (cant remember the companies name) who did the analysis of the Twin Towers and the Oklahoma city bombing. We have lunch planned with them then we get to play, go to the Sears tower, throw pennies off the top... u know tourist stuff!
