Back to even!

Maybe even a buy-in up as of the end of today, I'll need to check Hold'em Manager once they sort out the currencies capability next month, because Microgaming switched from Dollars to Euros on the 11th so none of the whole-month totals are correct. Graph is below in denominated in big blinds to compensate; most was $4/$8 and a‚¬3/a‚¬6, about about a £5.50 big blind.

Off the topic of poker, I heard an interesting observation at the weekend. I was in Cambridge for the weekend at Hannah's MA graduation ceremony at Queen's. While standing to the side watching them getting photographed I asked someone who looked knowledgable about the hoods they have to wear; they all wear black gowns with large coloured and fur lined hoods. Apparantly the different colours and styles denominate their current degree status, but that wasn't the interesting point...

Apparantly the fur lining on the hoods was orginally rabbit, but the university has now banned real fur, presumable to please the uppity-vegan-types. But bearing in mind current ecological opinions, it means they have banned a perfectly green, renewable carbon-neutral product in favour of a more energy-intensive synthetic petro-chemical product. I wonder if its possible for people to come to realise this, and end up in a complete 180 situation in which the hippies protest against celebrities wearing nylon and everyone can revert to luxurious furs for the good of the planet?
