E-mails from folks reading my blog made me smile this morning  I seem to be developing some sort of schedule at CCAT. When I arrive, I spend a few hours weeding or removing invasive species and then I spend my afternoons with the co-directors in meetings or interviews to learn more about their program. I appreciate this insider-outsider vantage point that I have riding the fence between employee and co-director.
In the afternoon we had marathon meetings, which reminded me of my Wednesday evening meetings working with SENS. We met to discuss meeting architects at the site walk, meet with the architects, and finally to reflect on our first impressions. I’m not sure of the secrecy surrounding this process so I won’t reveal any names or specific details. I must say however that I had no idea what types of hurdles needed to be cleared in a construction job with state funds.
Another day, yet another conversation about religion. For some reason this has been a favorite topic of my housemates and me. Carlita told me how through studying the meteorological and topographical influences on fire, her vision to see depth in the world is renewed. Carlita’s about to embark on a career as a firefighter and believes that spending her days on the edge of danger will fuel her spiritual fire, reminding her that life is fragile.

Questions:
-Why is CCAT responsible for the cost of demolishing their temporary house?
-How can I get a counter on my webpage?
-How long will invasive species stay out of a plot after it is cleared?
