As a result of the recent record rainfall and flooding throughout southern Wisconsin, Lake Mendota is now a very large septic tank. Until further notice, none of the small Hoofer boats should be sailed because they can easily capsize, and no windsurfing unless you want to end up with an eye infection, ear infection, or amoebic dysentary. The Union's swimming pier was closed (and fenced off!) today.

NOTE: As of 6/30/08, there are toxic blue-green algae warnings that will probably continue for the rest of the summer.

If they do allow swimming/contact with the water, I'm buying stock in Vagisil.
