A Few Dozen Recent Photos

Lots of stuff has been going on recently, with Lakefair, and all sorts of other stuff. The weather has been so great this past week. I just love it. Here are (quite) a few photos to share. I hope you enjoy.

This article is about the Precautionary Principle. Important stuff. I uploaded a full resolution version that was readable, then I felt bad, because the magazine website is charging for access. Let me know if you really want a copy and I would be willing to share it. I found this one at the Free Store.
