forest walk in a downpour
Sunday, June 22 2003
It's been raining a lot this spring in the East, but today was even rainier than most, with a drenching downpour continuing throughout much of the day. There's something wonderful about walking through the woods when rain is falling so quickly, so Gretchen and I put on our rain coats and set off down the Stick Trail. The original plan was to go see the dry waterfall I'd found the other day, but instead we walked to the primary fork in the Stick Trail (about a mile from the house) and then came back by following a temporary stream at the bottom of a mysterious side valley I'd never explored before. My raincoat was made of some sort of inferior material and it quickly soaked through. Gretchen, meanwhile, was perfectly dry in her raincoat and rainpants.
Meanwhile, back in the laboratory, I keep trying to figure out a way to mount a .dmg file in some operating system which I have (which is nearly everything except Macintosh OS versions 9.0 and above). .dmg files are used exclusively by Macintosh System X, and I'm surprised to discover that no one has seen fit to write an application capable of mounting them in any other file system.
