We have been lucky the flooding of the Mississipi has not affected us at all. On the otherhand, my commute takes me through the floodplain where I see underwater sports fields and a boat/RV storage center. Just as I was driving by there on Wednesday NPR announced an urgent need for volunteer sandbaggers in the area. Unfortunately, it took me over 1/2 hour to find the information on how to volunteer. On the plus side, I spent my evening helping with some other very nice people.

City Museum

Today, Kathy took me to the City Museum. Wow! That was a lot of fun. Strongly encourage you to bring your child there. As ours was not yet ready, we had to bring our inner-child. It was a blast! Hard to describe. The best description I have heard referring to it was a “surrealist landscape”, I would add “that begs to be explored.” Please enjoy the picture gallery here.
Joined Velog
Wednesday, June 11th, 2008At the request of Isaac I joined Velog. I added my ride log to the right. Overall training is going well. I swam from the dam to the island on the big lake… over half a mile. It is kind of fun to actually get somewhere while swimming, I am so used to just doing laps (even if the distances I am doing now are dwarfed by what I used to be able to do).
