Pants on fire. Donald Rumsfeld, caught in the act.

You'll be tested on this later. Last month my server logs recorded a spike of traffic from a California high school to my Killing Fields of Cambodia photos (viewer discretion advised); apparently a history teacher in the Valley put my vacation snapshots on the curriculum, so for a week or two a gaggle of teenagers passed through and browsed the not-at-all-pretty pictures.

This month I'm getting hits from a college in Maine, where a 200-level course on terrorism has made my photo essay a reading assignment. (I'm due by Friday.)

I realize this is an insignificant blip in the grand scheme of things, but I'll take what I can get: If I've achieved nothing else, at least college professors are assigning something I've done as homework now. (Okay, one college professor. And a high school history teacher. You've got to start somewhere, right?)
