Well, there's been a lot going on this last week, what with caps arriving, pizza and beer being consumed, and rivers being raced. I guess everybody has been too busy to post a new blog. I can't give details of all the swims that have occurred this last week, but here's a quick overview/high-points.
First, Congratulations to Sir James for winning the first ever Cream City Classic Milwaukee River Swim Race this last Saturday. Well done, with an awesome time of 32 minutes, and it's nice to see the Milwaukee River continue to improve.
Second, temperatures in the lake have been unprecedentedly high, with 76 degrees (76 degrees!) being recorded last evening. Take a look at the temp map for the whole lake; I've never seen it so uniformly red. So if you aren't swimming now, you're missing it.
On a similar note, the morning swims have now reached a stage where they are visually a treat. Walk down the hill watching the sunrise, then dip into to the lake. If you are a swimmer who only swims with the Kru in the evenings or the weekends, you are really missing it. And it won't last forever. So get your perfectly-toned ass out of bed, and come down to the beach one of these mornings.
Like tomorrow (Wednesday) for instance. Tomorrow's swim coincides with the Fifth Anniversary of my starting my own law office, and is my tradition, I start that anniversary with a swim with and treats for my friends. Emerge from the lake and have placed in your hands a nice cup of fresh Colectivo Coffee, and your choice of Kringle. Followed maybe by a round of Pitsch.
See you on da Beach. -- Kahuna
P.S.: Forger indicated yesterday he has spotted a submerged tire, North of Klode Beach, approximate location 50' due East of downspout, then 10' North of that spot. Tires on the lake bed are possibly out of my jurisdiction, but we are in the process of surveying the situation, and assessing whether a salvage operation (or underwater demolition) is called for. More details to come.

This morning left me thinking...if only every day can start like this! Thanks for the Kaffee and Kringle, Kahuna!
P.S: Next year go for the cherry kringle instead of the cheesecake one ;-)
P.P.S: Happy Independence Day!
Everybody's favorite India Independence Day songs:

Or, if you just want to dance along with some classic Bollywood production numbers:

ha, I was checking out the bollywood production numbers and got distracted, after returning I clicked on the window and was going to continue watching, i thought this is pretty cool, bollywood musical number to the tune of Credence Clearwater Revivals "run through the jungle". they synched up really well. then i realized I was watching you tube but listening to internet radio, incredibly surreal. give it a try start the song around the 5:00 minute mark, just like dark side of the moon and wizard of oz.
