Evanston, July 30

A slight question of storms from leftover hurricane Dolly made us almost opt for Friday, but the storm split going mostly south of us leaving nice weather for today's swim. It was perfect - what more can I say? 70 degree clear water, flat with a light west breeze, mostly sunny.

There was a disturbing article about changes in the Lake ecology in today's paper. Lots more mussels and algae on the Lake bottom. Besides disrupting the food chain it may be producing the e-coli that has the beach directors undies in a knot. A lady we met as we were getting out mentioned that she biked to Ohio street recently only to find the water closed due to e-coli. We suggested she swim with us.
