Diana and I got our neighbor stomach Oaklee out for a hike at Libby’s look… She never been there and loved it… She loves anywhere outside

I had to go to work on soemthing . We have a big experiment coming up this week and I wanted to be ready. On the way I picked up some dry ice for my friend Gerry for some pictures he was taking… It was a Sunday evening so I didn’t think anybody would have dry ice, but it turns out that Green Mountain courier actually is open 24 hours if you know where to knock…

love that stuff !

Today we met up with our freinds the B’s .. (barlows. Bonds, bressors.. we took a nice hike down the rivershore for old time sake. The Barlowe’s dog Milo loved it

We stopped for a moment at the Small memorial there for friend Francis… I always think of him when I go to this place

It was super nice catching up with everybody… All the families were doing well

We brought out the picture of the chipmunk and snake that our game camera took at our back step… We don’t know what happened after this, but this is pretty dramatic… No?

it was beginning to be a beautiful ‘golden hour sunset’ 

While we were admiring the sunset, we heard something and it turns out our old friend the  Beaver is back !

On the way back from the bridge, we stopped by to see our friend and neighbor Rose and check in on her chickens

beautiful evening !

The code I wrote to see if we could locate Gabe stolen phone caught that it had moved last night… But haven’t heard from it since.

We are assuming it’s lost for Good… Sigh

On more local yuckiness, the dreaded pink slime… I was interested to read that pink slime is not a fungus or anything. It’s actually a bacteria that creates this jelly goo to protect itself from its environment. It looks like pink worms all over the pool… It’s hard to get rid of, but we’re trying.

High point of today was going to University of Vermont to speak to the governors Institute of Vermont math camp. It was really fun to meet a bunch of high school kids who love math that much. Polly talked about our data and math program at beta and I talked specifically about some of my acoustic analysis, which has some pretty interesting mathematics. We also brought one of our demos and it was really fun to see the kids play with it.

Dan and I took a great after dinner walk which we’re trying to do as often as we can… The moon was amazing

On the way home, we saw that someone had driven over The Kid shaped sign that our neighbors should put out the prevent people speeding on Cochrane Road from veering into their yard to avoid the speed humps

thats pretty sick for somone to do that.
