Laura was in Walla Walla yesterday and today. She flies back to LA tomorrow and starts the journey back to Chile on Wed.

Today, I worked on computing the variance of a quantity that we are trying to build confidence intervals for. It's an algebraic mess. I haven't completely given up, but I am walking away from it for a day or so. I'm beginning to think that I should cut bait and just try to do some careful approximations instead of computing the quantity exactly. Frankly, even if I do compute it exactly, the expression will be so ghastly that it won't be useful anyway.

Working in the apartment here, switch from one task to another, one can go a little stir crazy. Every day I try to either go for a run or a walk along the beach path. Even when I don't feel like it, I always end up feeling glad that I did.

Sunset was interesting this evening. The sun found a hole in the clouds and kind of poured down into the sea:
