Friday night after last call at the
Dock, Arne , Big John, his brother Brian (who I'd kept calling Rob because
I misheard his introduction), Lisa and I walked to the rope swings on the
Queen Anne side of the ship canal. Good thing we didn't know about the new
law prohibiting swimming in it, otherwise we might not have had such a good
time skinny-dipping. They say the new prohibition is because too many people
were drowning. If that's really the case, then drowning is the crime, and
it should be drowning that is outlawed, not swimming, which has been shown
to prevent drowning. The legislators probably know something we don't and
want to keep people out of the canal to prevent future lawsuits due to
environmental neglect which no one wants to admit. Regardless, there was
quite a crowd there today--kids, teens, dogs, and old men like me and
Jed. |
