We're still waiting to get the adoption photo in the mail, but I'll post it when it arrives.Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06982947597242890437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2781175486526562129.post-59784703228198056692009-01-18T08:27:00.000-08:002009-01-18T08:27:00.000-08:00That's actually a really good point, Karl.

There are many wonderful vegan animal sanctuaries popping up all over the country and it's definitely worth trying to find one near you so that you can visit your adopted animal from time to time. I got a chance to visit my adopted sheep Maggie at Farm Sanctuary in September and it was a really incredible experience.Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06982947597242890437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2781175486526562129.post-82546683441392990512009-01-18T05:53:00.000-08:002009-01-18T05:53:00.000-08:00Karl sponsored a goat from SASHA farm for me for m...Karl sponsored a goat from SASHA farm for me for my birthday.

If you live in the Midwest and want to visit your animal and your sanctuary, three good options are SASHA Farm and GLRS (near Ann Arbor, Michigan) and MAPPAR (near Madison, Wisconsin).<BR/><BR/>SAHSA (Sanctuary And Safe Haven for Animals) Farm: chickens are $50<BR/>http://sashafarm.org/sponsor/index.htm<BR/><BR/>GLRS (Great Lakes Rabbit Sanctuary): Rabbits $15/mo<BR/>http://www.rabbitsanctuary.org/<BR/><BR/>MAPPAR (Midwest Animal and Potbellied Pig Association & Rescue): all animals $20<BR/>http://www.mappar.org/sponsor.htmKarlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02951522091717546635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2781175486526562129.post-39791572511809498192009-01-17T11:40:00.000-08:002009-01-17T11:40:00.000-08:00Yes, my research area is algebraic number theory/a...Yes, my research area is algebraic number theory/arithmetic geometry. My current project is struggling through Hartshorne, which is one reason I haven't been posting much lately. (There's not much point in writing posts about that stuff when it's mostly done very well at Rigorous Trivialities, for example.)<BR/><BR/>I haven't had too much experience with veganism and conferences since I haven't been vegan that long (only since I started grad school). I just bring fruit and granola bars to snack on during breaks, so it hasn't been a problem so far. I do generally avoid seminar lunches and dinners though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
