On Friday night We'Taco and I were huddling in the shallows of the cove to stay out of the whipping north wind. The water was the warmest place to be. We were talking about how, even though summer is gorgeous and hard to beat, there is something special about fall swims: the sense of stolen time, not knowing how many more swims we have left, being really glad we have THIS swim. Then Itch and Stickler swam in, everyone got out, hustled into warm and dry, took a shot, and strode into the weekend.
Itch dubbed Saturday the third best swim of the season. Pitsch. Then some went off to Doors Open, MKE. Was that only me?

it is becoming clear that the Klode Kru swimmers are not football fans. Noon swim when kickoff starts?
Paging Synchro...I missed the swim but if you're up for some Open Doors I am!
Sad to not be swimming much anymore due to both school and the chill. Anyone want to sell me a used wetsuit? I'm 5'9
Isn't that like shopping for second-hand condoms?
And as to J Bannink suggesting the season might be winding down, I for one turn to the immortal wisdom to be found in the words of John 'Bluto' Blutarsky:

Bluto: Hey! What's all this laying around shit?
Stork: What the hell are we supposed to do, ya moron?
D-Day: War's over, man. Dean Wormer dropped the big one.
Bluto: What? Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter: [to Boon] Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.
Bluto: And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough...
[thinks hard of something to say]
Bluto: The tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go!
[Bluto runs out, alone; then returns]
Bluto: What the fuck happened to the Delta I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you're gonna let it be the worst. "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble." Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. Wormer, he's a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer...
Otter: Dead! Bluto's right. Psychotic... but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons, but that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part!
Bluto: We're just the guys to do it.
D-Day: [stands up]
Boon: [stands up] Let's do it.
Bluto: [shouting] "Let's do it"!
[all of the Deltas stand up and run out with Bluto]
7 years of college down the drain
Um, no? Since I'm above the nonexistent age of consent to use a wetsuit...and wetsuits are washable and usually (there are some exceptions) not a biohazard.
That's right! The season's not over till we say it's over!
