    Novel hammock stand and tarp

    I'm at a conference on the island of Maui in Hawaii (yes, I can hear the groans of sympathy from here...) and visited a road-side "Crafts Fair" that is mostly loaded up with tourist tchatchke. But on a table was a pile of hammocks, appeared to be of the parachute silk variety, with a label that introduces a novel idea for a hammock stand and tarp!

    Just bring friends...who too can not worry and be happy with you.

    haha That would be awesome. Than they can stare at all your comfort too.

    If only I can convince the girlfriend and Kiba to carry me around.

    And it has the added benefit of being mobile!
    If one were to use this mode of transportation to commute, one could sleep in longer. hmmm...

    Well I don't have any friends like that so the domestic servants will have to do.

    You can travel and hang at the same time.

    Ah Hawaii. All the investigators from my lab were in Hawaii a couple weeks ago for a conference. I was pretty jealous, but at least we got to work in peace and quiet for once. Didn't get crazy enough to hang a hammock in the lab tho, as much as I'd love to!

    Ha! That's hilarious!
    I've had this idea of hiring a Sherpa for some time. No, he wouldn't carry my backpack. But he would stand beside my hammock all night and gently keep it rocking from side to side.
