A few responses to Jaime's posts

A few belated thoughts.

On the question of wave energy, there have been tide mills in operation in London since Roman times. The Romans may not have been producing electricity, but it was wave energy put to good use. According to Wikipedia, the first excavated tide mill was in Strangford Lough, which isn't far from where Ben K's Julie comes from.

About your friend, Lauren. I had always thought this was cousin Lauren (nee Callahan). From something you said about being in sophomore year together, apparently not?

Evie is welcome to make contributions to the Found Fund when she is ready. For now, I think candy is a pretty good cause. But if I bring along some candy next time, perhaps the choice won't be as difficult.

I think your Lauren confusion is hilarious--Friend Lauren and Cousin Lauren couldn't be more different. The swearing alone should have been a tip-off. I think when Cousin Lauren comments, she uses Lauren D. as her ID.

Yes, contributing to the Found Fund would be a huge step in maturity for a candy focused six year old. I'm hoping she's still young when she eventually does see fit to surrender her change--I think being short helps her find so many coins.
