swimmingly

Today's big thing (besides the bucket being stolen) is that I went swimming in the American River.  With all my clothes on.  Ming pocketed my cellphone and keys and wallet.  I didn't go very deep because there was a dense riverweed.  But I got in all the way up to my neck.  It was fun to see the world from the river, smell river smells, smile at Ming as he stood on the shore, float.
