Great turnout on a mild sunny day.  Of course, mild is relative.  Most of the people I passed when biking to Klode had on jeans and sweatshirts.  Nonetheless, I'd say that all the Kru members present today were happy that the sun was out, and that the little rocks near the shore were so warm.  Mr. A also noted that the sewer pipe along the steel barrier was warm and he giving it a big hug!  Drangonfly was also soaking up the rays after her swim.  

Despite the outward appearance of normality, there were some mysterious things happening today.  The first was Pool Noodle's discovery of small, floating bottle of vodka.

Look What I Found Floating in the Water!

Upon closer examination, we discovered some additional details

1. According to the label, this is the official vodka of the Ukraine!  
2. There are dents on the cap
3. There were seagulls guarding it
4. Later on, we saw a bunch of sea gulls dive bombing an eagle - none of us had ever seen anything like that before.

Come closer, my child!

The conclusions from these observations were obvious:

1. Those seagulls migrated to the US from the Ukraine, and brought this bottle with them.  There is also credible evidence linking Hunter Biden with this smuggling ring.  
2. Those seagulls figured out how to unscrew and re-screw that cap, that's why it's dented
3. The seagulls were obviously taking swigs from that bottle, that's why they were guarding it.
4. What would motivate a flock of seagulls to attack an eagle?  Reduced inhibitions, right?  Reduced inhibitions and increased belligerence?  Don't need to be a scientist to know what that's all about.  

A second scientific discovery made today came about as a result of the Calibration Celebration.  Four members  of the O'meter family were at the beach today, and we made some interesting discoveries about them.  

1. Brick has a brick-o-meter that only reads in Celsius.  
2. Lydia the Tattooed Lady is a librarian who was an art major.  She's not down with mathematical word problems for converting Celsius to Fahrenheit.  Much easier to ask Siri.
3. Itch clearly has the superior instrument.  That is to say...the itch-o-meter has a longer chord than the other O'Meters.  Very practical for getting a temp well below the surface, without have to get so close to the surface that your street clothes get wet. 
4. The mach-o-meter and mitch-o-meter are the same make and model.  Yet, the macho meter readings are consistently 2 degrees colder.

Previously, I thought the inconsistencies between the macho meter and itch-o-meter were due to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, but after today, I know better - it's due to Quantum Mechanics!  Yep, the macho meter and mitch-0-meter are identical particles of matter and anti-matter.  Those of you who are fans of the original Star Trek series are surely nodding your heads now...this topic was covered in depth in Season 1, Episode 27 - The Alternative Factor.  First aired on March 30, 1967
