Mad cow desease

I finished my presentation with no trouble. Some people asked me questions eagerly, and some (not many) requested my pre-prints. Now I feel very relaxed, and I would like to forget anything about the conference.

In the dinner I wanted to eat some meat dish. However, as you know, a cow was found to be mad cow desease in USA very recently. Ignoring many beaf dishes on the menu, I selected a BBQ of half sized pork rib. Maybe it is ridiculous to avoid beaf because of only one cow. But no way. Everybody wants to feel safe.

I have planned visitting downtown of LA during this trip, but it seems to be difficult and I have to give up that idea. Okay, I will come to LA next time. Now I know that the plane ticket is very cheap (if not vacation season).
