I went swimming in Lake Erie for the first time ever today, at
Sterling State Park. Lake Ontario is now the only Great Lake in which
I have not swam.
Sterling made Lake Erie seem different than the others. For one
thing, the bottom is covered with small shells and with an almost
slimy sand. For another, I could see what I took to be the Fermi II
nuclear power plant to the north, and a Ford factory to the south. I
didn't like it nearly as much as I do the gorgeous sand beach found
almost all the way around Lake Michigan.
I used the opportunity of the two factories to explain to my son why
there are so many factories near lakes and rivers. When I was a kid,
I could watch factory waste being dumped into the Grand River several
times per day, where it was assumed it would disappear without a trace
and without harm. Except by then, anyone who could read was well
aware that the waste was causing *great* damage and didn't disappear
at all. Action to remedy this was a liberal triumph and I presented
it to my son as one.
Anyway, it was nice to have been in my 4th Great Lake.

I washed my hair for the first time in two weeks after washing a week's worth
of dishes to empty the kitchen sink. The bathroom is still around 60 (ground
temperature) and I did not want to heat it because the heat rises into the
apartment which is about 80. It is really nice to have clean hair. Last time
I showered I ran upstairs with teeth chattering to dry off.

IHB my friend Linda had a birthday party yesterday, and we had three little
ones there -- Katie, at three and a half, Griffin at 16 months (this week),
and Miles at nearly five months (next week). It was much fun, even though
it ended up segregating among gender lines after a while -- the men went to
play Munchkin and the women stayed in the living room and watched babies and
The Dark Crystal video.

Finally got the Linux recording app compiled and running - I've got a new toy
to play with now! Plus I documented the whole installation, so next time it
should be fairly straightforward.

Saw Bon Jovi in concert last night. When did Jon get so hot? It brought "Lay
Your Hands On Me" to a whole new level.

Dcat - that's wonderful! What do you plan to study?
IHB the furniture arranging is going better than planned, and when I woke up
I noticed that my roomie had unpacked and organized the entire kitchen.

IHB I'm sneaky. :) While most of the rest of the lab is meeting at 7:30
am Wednesday to drive down to our advisor's house on the Vineyard, my
carload and I will be happily still asleep at my friend Emily's place in
Woods Hole (just across from MV). I think we may be the only ones that
are sort of looking forward to this party.

IAHB sailing on Lake Erie was fun. We took a friend's Catalina 27 from
Anchor Point to the Toledo Light and back. Saw some herons and other birds
(including cormorants, possibly) on the light's island. A nice afternoon
for a sail.

I just mysteriously found a whisker that belonged to my cat that passed
away.
Sigh. Maybe one of those weird things that lets me know he's OK?

IAMH because I made minimum first bid on item on e-bay - and "won". Easy
when no one else wants what you do (at asking price, at least).
