June 9 

Goals for today:

I am switching back to creative writing to write an essay on an unnatural place--that is, the places where most of us spend most of our time (unless we are forest rangers): e.g., climate controlled buildings like EPB where the windows don't even open, which means they are too hot in the winter and require employees to bring fans, and too cold in the summer requiring us to bundle up in sweaters and hoodies.  I'm going to write about the indoor pool where I swim and maybe contrast it with where I want to swim once I develop enough stamina--with the I-Cows at Lake McBride. Let's face it: swimming laps in a chlorinated pool is a highly unnatural experience.
