These are the times that try men’s souls:

            Imagine, if you will, that you are cruising downstream on a fast running river in a fiberglass bubble known as a kayak. It’s not really a risky ride, but you do need to keep your wits about you. When suddenly you realize that you are not alone in that bubble. You see a big hairy spider slipping out of sight under the seat. You can’t get up and thrash the thing out because you’ll get wet at best or kill yourself at the worst. Your thoughts race through your mind, like what kind of spider is it? It doesn’t really matter because all spiders are carnivores. Yep, they eat meat, and you are meat.  You think if that spider realizes that you’re a potential meal it will bite you, encase you in a web, and feed you to its spiderlings all winter. There is nothing in the world that can give you more relief than spotting a gravel bar at that moment, so you can stop and get that thing out. Trust me; you’ll have spider dreams for weeks after that.
