Heather corrects use of term "lake" in Power Animals part 1

You know I spent a long time researching what is a lake and what is a pond. For a while I thought that it was just that a lake needed water running into and out of it. But no, it really is the size. Or possibly the depth. I forget, this was about fifteen years ago. Um, well, ours was a pond. Especially because it looked like a tennis court in summer. It was covered in algae, because it was only about three feet deep. Anywhere. Elizabeth and I would row in it too. And possibly because everyone put a lot of fertilizer on their giant lawns. Up at the north end of the pond we would run aground. Except if you got out you were up to your knees in sludge. It's hard to row in sludge.
