Much discussion about the strip of brown water extending out from shore after last week’s storms. Raw sewage dumped by MMSD? Possible, but we are many miles from the dumping, and no one has seen any turds in the water (other than Capt’n). Storm sewer run off from street sewers? More likely. Or just stirred up silt and sand? Or a combination of all three?
On Saturday some swimmers were so determined to swim in blue water they swam straight out (normally we parallel the shore) a quarter mile or more to where brown ended and blue began. Fortunately it’s no longer necessary - the brown water is gone!
P.S. Happy Swimiversary to Showgirl! Thanks to Panini for bringing cupcakes to the celebration.

I am forming a team to compete in the "'Save The Nuts!' 1st Annual Charity Tricycle Race" at Three Lions Pub, this Thursday Evening. This is a charity event supporting the Testicular Cancer Foundation. Teams are composed of 8 persons, and the pub provides the adult sized trikes. I need 7 other members to have a team. I'm paying the entrance fee for the team. You can find out more about the event by going to eventbrite.com, and then searching on "Save the Nuts." I think registration stars at 5, races start at 6, but I'm not sure. That's the same night as the Shorewood Criterium, so if you are planning on attending that, why not trike race as well? Let me know if you are able to be on the team, as I want to get the roster together and the registration in before they fill up. Thanks!
I'm not sure of the team name yet, nominations welcome. "Tri Wish"? "Chock Fulla"? "Team Shorewoody"? "The Kiwis"? "Privates On Parade"? "Dr. Shue's Cut-Rate Vasectomy Service"? "Team 'Does She Know About the Shrinkage?'"
I'm also not sure about team uniforms, if any. Again, nominations welcome. Cheers.
