Handsome Dude day

There have been so few times (as in none, zero, zilch, never-ever land) Handsome Dude has suggested a blogging topic, that when it happens (as in the second it happens) I’m all over it like a mudslide covering a small uninhabited village on the outskirts of the Himalayas.

I dedicate this post to each and every soil scientist–yes–every soil physicist that I have ever had the good fortune of meeting–you know who you are.  You’re probably in a meeting.

Meeting other soil scientists.

I pledge that from this moment forward I will never again use the words ‘dirt’ and ‘soil’ interchangeably.

I will teach others to never again use the words ‘dirt’ and ‘soil’ interchangeably.

Vacuums suck dirt.

Soil scientists–soil physicists–study soil.

Systematic, online, blogging clarification is all that was needed.

[pause here for a moment of silence]

On behalf of President Gary Pierzynski and the Soil Science Society of America, 
Happy World Soil Day!

Celebrate by watching this 31 second video.
