Today is Mountain Day at Smith College – woo hoo! The college’s president selects a nice fall day, traditionally in late September or early October, and cancels all classes and academic events so that students can go out and enjoy the weather. The actual day is a surprise, so there was much speculation on campus that it was going to be last week.
Some residence houses have trips planned to pick apples at local orchards, and others go hiking, canoeing or just out for picnic lunches. Staff do not get the day off, although campus offices are closed. A good, low-key day to catch up on things!

Heidi and I went to Bub’s BBQ with Boone, Sarah and Rose last night. Out of curiosity I tried the Gator Tail, which turned out not to be the best decision – it was sort of like really tough chicken. This led to a lively discussion about whether I was breaking our plan of ‘no meat, but okay to eat fish and seafood’. The gator tail was listed under Seafood on Bub’s menu, which was good enough for me, but the rest of the dinner party was unconvinced.
Which leads to the audience participation part of our post: please give us your opinion on this weighty matter using the poll to the right of the screen.

If I may, let me make the argument that even pork is seafood. First, it's "the other white meat", or so "They" would have you believe. Second... well this is where I feed JBC many, many hoppy/malty beverages... then he'll believe anything. Third, I'd put any an all pork under seafood on a menu, and just because Bubbs doesn't do that, doesn't make the fact that I would any less true. Well, I'm glad you agree with me. Righteo!
