On Saturday it was the Finals for summer swimming. 25+ pools from most of Montreal sent the top qualifying swimmers. My niece was in the first race and we were all pretty nervous. The girl who she beat by a hair in the winter finals was swimming against her (and that girl had a qualifying time that was much better than anything my niece had swam this season). It was a very exciting race and they both touched at the same time. So we had no idea who won.

It turns out my niece won with her best time by far 17.28 (for 25 meters). The other girl swam 17.45. My nieces best time this year had been 17.88. She was so happy when she saw the results.

Her relay also came in first. So it was a really good day even though it was rainy and drizzling for much of the meet.

That is great, DR Jennifer! An exciting race, for sure.

"Selfies" aren't actually new. Some statues have been doing it for years!

I thought this was fun.

This "church" is actually an art installation in Belgium called "Reading Between the Lines."

From one perspective, it looks like this:

But if you move about a bit, it looks like this:

Good morning, all! I was feeling poorly this morning so I moved therapy to tomorrow and went back to bed. Now that I am up, I've got a lot of things to accomplish in the apartment. It will be grisly since there is far to much to be put away.

It's mostly carting storage boxes about, putting away too many CDs and dealing with decisions on what will be shipped to Miami University Library when some available cash rolls in.

DR Slingshot, I hope that your dental problems are healing nicely, but some of these posts prompt me to suggest you lay off the meds.

Saturday (our group INDUS, that is) had our annual India Independence Day picnic. It was great fun, and the weather was absolutely perfect!

In other news, now that I have finished up with JULIA, I am now watching episodes of POLICE WOMAN.

You know what, it is quite an excellent show! When I spoke to BK's neighbor Earl Holliman some months back he encouraged me to give the show a watch, and I am glad that I did. Lots of wonderful guest stars! Lots of strange 1970s clothes and huge-moungous 1970s cars. But the plots could be something right out of any current cop show. I was pleasantly surprised at how well a lesbian plot-line was handled.

What a cute picture, DR Cillaliz!

Their mom posted it on FB today and I thought it was cute. Hopefully Jon will stop by and say hi to everyone today.

Some DRs were discussing the Little House on the Prairie book series not too long ago.

This article indicates that a gritty, unexpurgated autobiography by Laura Ingalls Wilder will be released this fall:

Also, the last episode seemed to have an anti-smoking bit to it. In one scene Earl Holliman goes to a bank to investigate a dead elderly woman's account. He meets with the manager who offers him a cigarrette, which Earl declines. The banker grabs one and asks Holliman if he mindes if he smokes, Holliman says "Actually, yes, I do mind." And Earl then pushes the ashtray away from where he is sitting.

It was just a small bit, but rather interesting.

Love the pic of the nephews, DR Cillaliz!

Are the names of all the applicants of public record?

VIXMOM, yes, after the deadline they do a press release of all the applicants names. After the interviews they release the two names going to the governor and, of course they release who the governor picks.

Today is the deadline to apply, so around 4:45 I'm expecting to see an email naming the applicants. I've only heard of two others and I think that's why I'm really curious to see who else may have applied. They usually have around 10, but no one seems to be applying. I find that very interesting

Thanks MBarnum and Singdaw. I better get some work done

Oh, dear, it seems that I missed the DR Vixmom birthday festivities. This is what happens when I don't get on the computer during weekends!!
