Notable Events and Scientific Results of the day |

beach as it waits for just a day of southwesterly
winds to help it break the surface.
Caleta Pertinent News: Super Colon Boy Mike Crowley and Professor Doctor Sir Josh Kohut prove today that a ripe blueberry can indeed be tossed from stern to bow (over the captain's cabin) of a moving boat at 5.5 knots and land directly in a body orifice.
