Stanislaus river
Here's a nice view of the mosquito-infested Stanislaus river, taken at last weekend's campout. You can't tell it from this picture, but this river has a pretty strong current. We sure had pretty weather for that campout.
Fine day. It was quite a bit cooler - lower 70's, if yesterday's prediction is to be believed - and there were a few pretty clouds. I took the Miata again, top-down both ways. That's the only way to travel, I tell you.
Speaking of which, Loyal Reader Number Twenty-Three bought a new convertible today. He traded in his Toyota MR2 for a new Nissan 350Z. I thought his old one was pretty nice, but the new one is apparently really beautiful. And it has over 300 horsepower! I don't want to pay his gasoline bills, but I'm sure he'll enjoy the car.
Had my friends Bret and Ashley over this evening for a home teaching visit and new member discussion. It went well, and they're nice young people. They're expecting a baby in July and excited about it. They're still young and struggling, but they'll be fine.
No Tuesday night meeting tonight. It's the fifth Tuesday, so no meeting. Dash it all!
What do my Loyal Readers think about the Reverend Wright/Obama controversy? I see Mr. Wright as a massive millstone who has the potential to turn the frontrunner into a footnote. It may have happened already. Your thoughts?
Time to do other things. See you tomorrow.

Thank heavens for Off. It made our camp-out enjoyable. I would go again, but I would be sure to bring plenty of insect repellant. And check for ticks when you get home. Reminds me in more ways than one of Virginia.
And I just read something online about Reverend Wright. I agree completely - if religion was enough to take Mitt Romney out of the running, I see it as very likely to crush Obama's chances too. Merely watching the videos of Reverend Wright's sermons reminded me of why we don't do things that way in our church.
Anyway, it's hard to know whether to hold it against Obama or not. I like his statement that the pastor "is like an uncle who says things you don't always agree with", but I'd say that this "uncle" has a pretty consistent history of saying things that Obama "doesn't agree with", and Obama hasn't renounced his connection with the pastor.
