Evanston, June 13

Today Mike was running errands out in the direction of Evanston, so he stopped by our beach to check it out. Of course he brought his suit, and gear. He reports that he attempted to swim to the halfway point but got too cold and came back. Mike doesn't have a thermometer with him like I have so no reading, but we can be sure it was less than the 58 of our last swim. This is quite typical, hot weather often brings up cold water. He also reports that the briefcases (Park district employees who collect money) were out in force, so his beach stay was brief.
