Dear Dr. Wood, I have been enjoying your ceph pages for many weeks now. I've been a cephalophile since about age 14, when I was engulfed in a school of small squid while night diving just off Looe Key. While looking at your pages, I couldn't help but notice that you work right down the street from me (down the street in Texas terms, I live in Clear Lake right near the space center), and I've been wondering for weeks now, is it possible to come and visit the home of the CephBase?

| Those Sepioteuthis sure are neat animals, Ryan! We have some Japanese ones here and I will be studying the species you saw in Bonaire this summer. I went to Big Pine Key every summer for a week as a kid, know the area well and miss it! Sure you can come and visit CephBase!!! But what you really want to see is the NRCC. Cephbase after all, while extremely kewl, is a collection of computers. We give tours all the time. Rumor has it that Dr. Wood will rapidly flee his computer to give a private tour to any confirmed ceph-nut. Weekend tours are slightly harder as I tend to be booked up, but they could happen. Evenings are fine. By the Way, I know the Clear Lake area fairly well as I recently purchased a sailboat to live on and most of the boats I looked at were in your backyard. Dr. James Wood |
