Thursday, August 31



Friends, it seems the previous post's picture of a beaver has caused an uproar. I did not intend to pass this rodent off as anything but an image borrowed from the web. I only caught a fleeting glimpse of an actual beaver as it waddled out of the underbrush and slipped into the lake - although saying "slipped into the lake" is giving the creature more credit that it deserves, cause what really happened is that the thing's rump must have been pretty dry, cause although it was trying to get under the water quickly, it definitely had problems trying to submerge its butt. It swam about 12 yards with just it's hind quarters visible.

Anyway, the rigors of camping definitely have taken their toll. I decided I needed a day off the bike and on the Vespa.

Is my understanding correct? The "despair" bracelet is designed to be in contrast to the "feel good" rubber bracelets that became popular with Lance Armstrong, etc.
