The site was down for a prolonged period thanks to Rogers changing the IP address on me. During the last month I've been reading many editions of The Economist care of my roommate Buffett. I've also been reading a fascinating journal of Darwin's travels around the world in the HMS Beagle. This book was written in the 1830s and my copy was printed in 1912. I love the feeling of reading a book that feels like it belongs in a museum. The best part is that hidden between the pages near the end of the book I found a dried and pressed four-leaf clover!
While at the mine I experienced the summer solstice near the arctic circle, and made sure to take photos at midnight. They're posted in the flickr set for the Snap Lake Project.
Varsity Outdoor Club trips have been a source of great entertainment and photos over the last month. My flickr site has been consistently updated with photos, and here are links to the sets: We went to Wedgemount Lake north of Whistler, had a great buildering session, and last weekend scrambled up the 2600m peak Castle Towers in Garibaldi.
