All is well on the Eastern front.  Got nasty hot last<br \/>weekend, but we finally got some rain this week.<\/p>\n<p>Helen and I have been having fun on various adventures.  In the first<br \/>photo, you can find her dog Toosi taunting her as she is stuck knee deep<br \/>in mud and her not-so-valiant boyfriend takes a picture rather than<br \/>rescues her.  This is because he was also just stuck in mud and did not<br \/>want to get stuck again.<\/p>\n<p>We had to go back up to Ikea last weekend to exchange a futon mattress.<br \/>    This time we stopped in their food section and bought exotic Swedish<br \/>food stuffs (I think it used to be a fish), which we enjoyed in our own<br \/>private dining area (parking lot, 2nd\/3rd pics).   The encrypted numbers<br \/>on her hand are the secret locations to a cool chair that we bought for<br \/>my living room.  They have papers available for writing down such<br \/>numbers, but Helen&#8217;s hand seemed less losable.<\/p>\n<p>Mom &amp; Dad, very much enjoyed my birthday cloths and video rocket!  The<br \/>4th pic shows Zach setting it up at the bottom of the hole.  We had a<br \/>perfect launch and it managed to avoid both sides of the hole and every<br \/>tree and rooftop in the neighborhood, landing in the church parking lot.<br \/>     The rocket recorded a great video, which I promptly mis-deleted.  But<br \/>I did get a video from the ground of the rocket.  Posted it to<br \/>http:\/\/brucewinter.net , in the videos link.<\/p>\n<p>Zach is sad because he is Jessy-less for 10 days.  She left yesterday<br \/>for a backpacking trip in Colorado with some friends.  She bought a new<br \/>1 person tent, tested in the 5th pic.<\/p>\n<p>I was lured back down into the hole last weekend.  They then pulled the<br \/>ladder up and made me dig 75 buckets of dirt (a new record) before they<br \/>lowered it back down.   I got a little bit dirty.<\/p>\n<p>I can not say much about the 7th photo, as it involves a secret, not to<br \/>be published science experiment.   But fear not, the experiment went off<br \/>without a hitch (boy did it go off!), and that is not hot magma from the<br \/>center of the earth bubbling up about to engulf Zach, but rather a light<br \/>bulb that we discovered after some digging.<\/p>\n<p>Helen had a Mayo Neurology social event at the Foundation house last<br \/>week, so she invited her daughter Aya and myself.  Dress was &#8216;informal&#8217;,<br \/>which meant suit jacket.  I was the only tie-less guy there.  Afterward,<br \/>we had fun touring the house.  It was William Mayo&#8217;s house, very fancy,<br \/>with a pipe organ that Aya played.   The last 2 pics show us conducting<br \/>ourselves in proper conservative Mayo fashion.<\/p>\n<p>Bruce<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>iH, bw reporting in.
