High in the 40s today. No sunshine - gray! Going to watch the Rice baseball team intersquad scrimmage today. The Owl Club is serving BBQ at lunch. New coach and staff this year.

It is interesting how the process of freezing filtered out the die and forced it to the center.

I think I remember something from an early physics or calculus class that it was a very efficient shape for volume.

^2-10-2019. And today we have ice bowls. I did not flip them over yet because I can hear cracking sounds which makes me think they are still freezing and expanding. It looks like the food coloring separated out by itself again.

^ Yeah, many synthetic food dyes are derived from petroleum, or crude oil, so they will separate from water and have different freezing points. In my preteen years I made many shapes from frozen water using an assortment of balloons. It was fun.
