    The Relative Importance of Four Variables as Possible Indicators of Wake Length. Introduction In rivers there are objects that cause more of an obstruction to the overall flow and so generate more resistance than the surrounding grains. This is because they are larger than the bed’s grains and thus they are sometimes known as large roughness elements. Large roughness elements are an important feature in the river bed since they block the path of the flow. Obstructions embedded in a bed such as stones

The beach was quite near, only two minutes away. The tide was high. The moonlight glistened off the waves which were

    The switchplate in my bathroom cracked while I was cleaning, and when I replaced it, I found in the small hole all the things you’d expect to find, dust and dead spiders and stinkbugs, but also an eye with a blue iris and a thick cataract. It was overgrown with little roots sprouting from the optical nerve and prying in between the plaster and lath boards. Left alone it would crack the plaster, so I pried it out, plucked it from its roots, and sealed it in a mason jar. Then I screwed in the new switchplate
