Penguins

Sunday, August 14th, 2005

Kirsten and went to see March of the Penguins this afternoon so we could get out the heat down here.

It was a decent way to spend an hour and a half, but I’m not really satisfied. Maybe it’s the fact that I consider myself to be a scientist, but I like my documentaries to have some detail. When you’re talking about penguin mortality, I’d like to know numbers not just “lots”.

At least it had a voiceover though. The last bird documentary that I saw “Winged Migration” I think didn’t even have narration.

  

The “Ledyard Challenge”

Sunday, August 14th, 2005

from the Valley News:

“Police and students have said that swimming the river naked late at night has become a practically nightly event dubbed the ‘Ledyard challenge’.”
