Oh John,

I hope you're not angry because I said Dave Hill was my favorite scientist? He is my favorite first and foremost because he's brilliant, then I only like scientists who go out in the field and explore, he has a mustasche and lastly he knows how to dress. He gets AAAA all the way across. He's perfect. Oh, there may be other attributes like he writes really well too. I guess I better stop here. I may need a ladder to say hello at Mammoth later this year.
