For those of you who think that Charleston is always warm, it's freezing cold here today (50s! and supposed to go down into the 20s tonight). Time to bring in the poor plants so they don't get frozen. Or maybe to cover them up with blankets. Have just learned that we are facing other possible budget cuts in our Marine Resources Library. Not much good news out there budget-wise. On the positive side, was just talking to Jared Seay (remember his "You Gotta Go to School for That?" columns in Against the Grain?) who says that he is going to return to his column editing role! We have to hold him to it!
