The new pond has survived its first summer. The good news is the fish have grown and the plants and the stream have survived. The bad news is that there is still too much particulate in the water and the management of the systems is not trouble free.

Progress is being made however. Click on the picture above to see a series of photos on Fickr including one of Missy (the dog of the pond) fishing.

The pond cam has not been forgotten although it has not been installed either.

We went to Safeco Field in Seattle with our friends Susan and Bob A. We were able to watch most of the game and the Mariners finally beat the Boston Red Sox. The Mariners pitcher had a no hitter going through 7 innings. Very exciting.

It is a very nice new park near to downtown (we walked from Pioneer Square). The most amazing feature is the expanding, retractable roof, which we fortunately did not get to see because it was a really beautiful sunny day. We had great seats in the field box area near third base. Bob is one of the most knowledgeable people about baseball I have ever had the pleasure of watching a game with.

This word came from the tour guide we had in Sitka, Alaska. “Shoppertunity” It self defines as any good word should.
