The long weekend in the Adirondacks that was for me…

1. Eat clams and sweet corn steamed in beer three days in a row (the bag of clams I bought was bigger than expected)
2. Played many hours of Frank Zappa’s Waka – Jawaka and Hot Rats albums (so futuristic)
3. Cooled off in the swimming hole in the East Canada Creek by the House Pond Trail (nice but currents were strong – might have gone skinny dipping after dark)
4. Read Paul Theroux’s Deep South, an interesting book about traveling the backroads of the South (well until the low voltage disconnect dropped the load plunging everything into darkness)
5. Laid many hours in the hammock watching the clouds (that is when I wasn’t reading)
6. Went to the potholers on Tuesday (water levels very high, lots of people there)
