Kayak! YA!

Nothing like the first paddle of the season! Even the slight swamp smell of the river was refreshing. I cruised around the river around downtown... ended up playing river clean up crew and picked up some malt liquor 40s that were floating downstream. Afterwards, two talkative 5th graders stopped by and asked a bazillion questions which was entertaining.

Right now I'm waiting for this Barnes scheme I whipped up to finish for this satellite/reanalysis program. 4 loops in IDL with dims of 349,277,~1300,2000 = waiting for hell to freeze over.
Some music for your entertainment:

Vampire Weekend - Walcott (2008)

Electric President - Good Morning,Hypocrite (2006)
with some relevant lyrics:

Seems like the roads stretch out like veins, but there's no heart.
Nature's haircut is concrete now, and we played our part.
So we sing ...

I've lost my taste for modern things. They're not for me.
I want mundane: a quiet place, where time is free,
And I can sing ...
