Salinity, Sodicity, Velocity
Looking at the words I put up there into the post title I begin to believe that science is getting closer and closer to me : ) but I do hope I will not lose my simplicity. Simple words are the best. I feel safe in their companion.
It was suggestion of my great host to go along with him to Cowra for seminar on managing the vineyards. My vocabulary went bigger : ) Salinity is a concentration of salt (NaCl that is sodium chloride) in something when sodicity is a term used to express detoriation of soil structure induced by excessive amount of sodium (Na). Why? What? Where from? Salt comes to the soil together with water from irrigation systems. Then it is up taken by roots and ends up in grapes. They say the Australian wines are on the top of the most-salty-wines-in-the-world list. Around 10% of them is not allowed to enter Europe because of too high chloride level :/
Not only my host but also my neighbours came up yesterday with ideas on having good time together. Just after returning from Cowra I hit the road toward Lake Wyangala:

It was first time in my life to do water sliding. When I was a boy I was living in communistic country where everything coming from West was considered as a serious threat (together with western way of entertainment). I entered the times of capitalistic free market as a teenager and already then I was too proud to join aqua park : ) = a place for small kids only. But now I am 29 years old and I realized that I have much more courage to behave like a child : )
Today I enjoy a day-after pain in my both legs, a mix of bruises from hitting the side walls of tubes and muscle sores from excessive running to the top of the fun : )
