Not everything is Science

Camron has probably 20 plastic pop bottles stashed in different places around Bill's property. All of them contain water, sometimes soap, sometimes coloring, and sometimes have pieces of wood, metal or plastic in them. I've seen him create a few, and he said they were clone experiments and a clone from whatever DNA he was using was supposed to emerge after three days. This has been going on for a couple of months and all of us have seen them and all of us have been told that they are science experiments. Yesterday Bill found a pop bottle, half full of liquid with a marble in is in his living room. He shook it and realized that it also had a lot of dish soap so he made sure the lid was tight and said to Camron "be sure that you don't accidentally take a drink of this." Camron looked up and asked "a drink of what?" Bill showed him the bottle and said "this science experiment." Camron said "that's not an experiment" so Bill asked what it was and was told "A Marble Washer!"

Yesterday morning I saw a group of maybe 100 catfish that were an inch long. This is the first group of the season but there are probably several others. Also, the Lily didn't bloom yet but there are several more that are ready. Maybe tomorrow. It has been cloudy and windy all day. Not extreme, but the gusts have reached 28 MPH.
