Way back
in the woods:
As
I was paddling upstream a few weeks back I decided to go around the back side
of one of the many small islands in the river. In normal times the water is too
shallow to get behind some of those islands, but the water was pretty high.
Plodding along I came to a small branch that I had never noticed before. It was
heading off to the east and looked kind of interesting, so I took a chance. The
stream was a virtual tunnel of overhanging trees, and the farther I went the
darker it got. I was so intent on fighting the current that I didn’t noticed
that there was not a sound to be heard. The ever present cicadas weren’t even
singing. Actually, it was getting rather spooky. What little sunlight that
filtered through the canopy had turned to no more that a green glow. As I often
do, when I want to stop, I grabbed a branch. Then I heard it, way off in the
woods, Dueling Banjos or the Theme from Deliverance. I grabbed a westbound
current and slid out of there backwards. One wouldn’t think a kayak could go
that fast in reverse.
A Serious Thought
To all my Daily Dose of Nonsense Friends:
It was brought to my attention that
there is at least one web site offering my books free. I have no idea how they
can benefit from that, other than planting tracking cookies or malware in your
computers. That’s just a guess. That’s one of the reasons I keep my prices low
so that Pirates would be less likely to mess with them. I have an agreement
with Amazon, and Amazon is the only outlet for my books.
Please protect your computers… Know
what you are downloading.
