Hundreds of gulls flying up and down the shore, hungry for shadflies. The hatch was late this year, and there was some concern the population is down, but this morning the gulls seemed to think all was well. While shadflies can be annoying to non-gulls, their presence indicates healthy water.

Sue departed for Wisconsin just as the gulls had enough light to hunt—and drove all the way to Milwaukee in one stretch, solo.

It is a bit addictive. Can't be in a rush; have to use the Zen mind and let the rocks stack themselves. Always amazing when it works.

Delicious meatloaf at the Pinebox.
