The new, lovely little towboat Gretchen T pushing a load of xylene up the river, Demopolis AL, December 16, 2007
In thinking through how I might revamp the journal once again to do that I came across some images I think should be in a separate photography gallery.
Since traveling gets in the way of this fun stuff I went to Recreation.gov and booked site 42 through Christmas (site 42 is already booked by someone else from the 26th on). That should give me the time I want to put some basic changes in place here at CoxonTool.com.
Night camp
Site 42 - Foscue Creek Campground, Demopolis AL
- This is a well maintained US Army Corps of Engineers campground with level paved sites, most with full hookups
- Many sites overlook the water of the inlets off Demopolis Lake on the Tombigbee River
- There is good biking on the park roads
- The campground is pretty full Thanksgiving week and is generally booked solid the weekend of the Demopolis Christmas on the River festival in early December.

Few genes are required
One's brain is powerfully activated by learning that there are only 30,000 genes in the human genome. That is only twice as many as in the fruit fly, not renowned for its calculating ability, and about as many as a garden weed. Geneticists are sorely vexed that so few genes are required to make something as complex and clever as a geneticist.
