Life as a Physicist

I expressed some surprise that someone came over and finger printed our apartment after the break-in. In fact, the police have been amazingly efficient here. I’m back at the lab today and talking with my friends they all want to know what it is like: they have never heard of finger printing for a break in. A common comment: “was a murder involved?”

In other news, the repairs have made more of a mess than the actual burglary. The thief hit the front door so hard to break the lock that it isn’t hanging the same way. So last night the lock smith and I sanded off parts of the door to get it to close ok again. What a mess. And 1.5 year old kids are very curious about wood-dust.
