A beautiful day, just beautiful.

My one mile of fire road was kind of chewed up and when I got to Nimbus Dam I found the culprits. The near-flooding of the winter, and the lake basically returning to its roots as a river, led to a huge accumulation of driftwood floating in front of the dam. They had already gathered it all up with a boom and scooped it out of the lake, and made a huge yucky pile of it. Now they have trucks hauling it out.

I went to meet my wife for lunch. She is using my employment uncertainty to fantasize about moving to La France. The idea terrifies me, because I think they basically wouldn't want us there. I've got a great education and job history but I don't think they'd have a lot of patience for a poor-to-worse speaker of French. I always thought if I had an opportunity like that it would come through a job I already had. Still, I'm looking at websites of Arianespace and friends like Thales and NAMMO
