About me

Gender	Female
Occupation	Not near as exciting as depicted on TV.
Location	It's flat and there's lots of corn
Introduction	Swept wing cowgirl for Uncle Sam meets doctorate in forensic geekery. I like solving puzzles. Life is an adventure that usually involves a sidearm, a cheap camera and a trusty black lab. The guys and gals in the white hats don't always win, but at least we are well fed.

If it's machinery, or it moves fast, I want to play with it.
Favorite Movies	And TV. Maltese Falcon, Thin Man series, Firefly (Serenity), Boondock Saints, Ronin, The Sand Pebbles, Fistful of Dollars, Destry, The Quiet Man, The Magnificant Seven, Bladerunner, Casablanca, Fargo, Eye of the Needle, Gladiator, Bridge on the River Kwai, 310 to Yuma, Hurt Locker, Red Dwarf, Monty Python, The Red Green Show, History Channel, Mythbusters, Top Gear, Discovery, Sci Fi.

Your people want to make a statue in your honor. What will it be made out of and what victory will it commemorate?

It would be made out of bacon. It would commemorate the time I cooked breakfast for 23 people without rioting.
