Country swing dancing! Thomas and Michaela have been swing dancing together as often as practical over the years. It's a very fun, social style of dance. We we welcome everyone to dance whatever kinds of dancing you like as well!
There is a parking lot behind the venue attached to the garden. If the weather is good, we'll have dinner set up in the backyard - feel free to come straight in by the garden gate.
Sure. If you can, give us a heads up in the RSVP poll to help our headcount.
Please submit your RSVP here: https://cryptpad.fr/form/#/2/form/view/4Ic1F7LUApj2LkZoJkUfG1oFvC2SGw0odYQrqRcBCvY/
In our variation on the tradition, children are invited to assemble for Thomas's bouquet toss and whoever catches the cake bouquet will be the next to get cake.
The oceans maintain a pH of between 8.1 and 8.3 despite all the interesting chemistry happening to it because it contains an acid-base buffer solution of H2CO3 and HCO3. Adding an acid or base will convert one to the other without changing the pH much. The H2CO3 concentration stays mostly constant because it is in equilibrium with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere; it will absorb or release CO2 rather than changing concentration much. The HCO3 concentration stays mostly constant because it is in equilibrium with calcium carbonate deposits on the ocean floor; calcium carbonate is absorbed or deposited to keep it in balance. Thus, large amounts can be converted back and forth without changing the pH much. Our bodies use the same buffer solution to maintain blood pH, and we will breath faster or slower to adjust how fast we reject carbon dioxide and thus control the H2CO3 levels in our blood.
