The Robinsons

...so since neither of us can remember whose turn it is to deal when we play Gin Rummy ( which is nearly every night) we decided we should use a pencil or something as a pointer. But then how would we remember whether or not we actually moved the pointer? Oh well, why should I care since Anitarae has nearly tripled my cumulative score. Nothing seems more hopeless, except the fact that no one will read this anyway.

 

I don't know how to get the photo description to match the correct photo, so you do the work, ok? Picture one is Crater Lake. Crater Lake was once a Volcano which erupted and then sank deeply into the earth. The crater then filled with some of the purest and bluest water on earth.
