No Ainsworth. The "Calumet" River is here given as "Calumic," a spelling that shows up occasionally on old maps. A variant transcription of the Indian name for that river? White people couldn't make up their minds what to call it? — I don't know.

Boring entry, but I feel like crap today.

Just to make up for this stupid entry, here's a pretty picture of some clouds after the storm the other day (click on image to enlarge):
